In the quarter of a century since three mathematicians and game
theorists collaborated to create Winning Ways for Your Mathematical
Plays, the book has become the definitive work on the subject of
mathematical games. Now carefully revised and broken down into four
volumes to accommodate new developments, the Second Edition retains
the original's wealth of wit and wisdom. The authors' insightful
strategies, blended with their witty and irreverent style, make
reading a profitable pleasure. In Volume 4, the authors present a
Diamond of a find, covering one-player games such as Solitaire.
This classic on games and how to play them intelligently is being
re-issued in a new, four volume edition. This book has laid the
foundation to a mathematical approach to playing games. The wise
authors wield witty words, which wangle wonderfully winning ways.
In Volume 1, the authors do the Spade Work, presenting theories and
techniques to "dissect" games of varied structures and formats in
order to develop winning strategies.

Mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike have long been
fascinated by geometrical problems, particularly those that are
intuitive in the sense of being easy to state, perhaps with the aid
of a simple diagram. Each section in the book describes a problem
or a group of related problems. Usually the problems are capable of
generalization of variation in many directions. The book can be
appreciated at many levels and is intended for everyone from
amateurs to research mathematicians.

Der vierte Band ,,Solitairspiele" behandelt Ein-Personen-Spiele mit
Ausnahme von Schach, Go etc. Ein Hauptteil ist dem beruhmten ,,Game
of Life" gewidmet.
Der dritte Band ,,Fallstudien" bietet eine Fulle von speziellen
Beispielen.
Combinatorics, or the art and science of counting, is a vibrant and
active area of pure mathematical research with many applications.
The Unity of Combinatorics succeeds in showing that the many facets
of combinatorics are not merely isolated instances of clever tricks
but that they have numerous connections and threads weaving them
together to form a beautifully patterned tapestry of ideas. Topics
include combinatorial designs, combinatorial games, matroids,
difference sets, Fibonacci numbers, finite geometries, Pascal's
triangle, Penrose tilings, error-correcting codes, and many others.
Anyone with an interest in mathematics, professional or
recreational, will be sure to find this book both enlightening and
enjoyable. Few mathematicians have been as active in this area as
Richard Guy, now in his eighth decade of mathematical productivity.
Guy is the author of over 300 papers and twelve books in geometry,
number theory, graph theory, and combinatorics. In addition to
being a life-long number-theorist and combinatorialist, Guy's
co-author, Ezra Brown, is a multi-award-winning expository writer.
Together, Guy and Brown have produced a book that, in the spirit of
the founding words of the Carus book series, is accessible ""not
only to mathematicians but to scientific workers and others with a
modest mathematical background.
