David Wolfe

"Starting from the very basics of gameplay and strategy, the authors cover a wide range of topics, from game algebra and surreal numbers to special classes of games. Classic techniques are Introduced and applied in novel ways to analyze both old and new games, several appearing for the first time in this book. This book makes an excellent guide for undergraduates or for self-study by the enterprising reader, with a generous collection of exercises and problems scattered throughout the book."--Jacket.
