Book of the Week: How to Win Games and Beat People

08 Aug 2016

This week I read How to Win Games and Beat People by Tom Whipple, because I am tired of losing. The book is a quick read and goes through many games. It does highlight some of the mathematical results, but being a technical person, I’d rather go further in depth.

• Monopoly - Project Euler Problem 84 is about finding the most popular square.
• Battleship - Probablity map
• Risk - The math says it is better to attack.
• Blackjack - Read Beat the Dealer and Theory of Blackjack.

And take the General Game Playing course.
