Paperback. Condition: New. It is wonderful to see advanced combinatorial game theory made accessible. Siegel's expertise and enjoyable writing style make this book a perfect resource for anyone wanting to learn the latest developments and open problems in the field. --Erik Demaine, MIT Aaron Siegel has been the major contributor to Combinatorial Game Theory over the last decade or so. Now, in this authoritative work, he has made the latest results in the theory accessible, so that the subject will achieve the place in mathematics that it deserves. --Richard Guy, University of Calgary Combinatorial game theory is the study of two-player games with no hidden information and no chance elements. The theory assigns algebraic values to positions in such games and seeks to quantify the algebraic and combinatorial structure of their interactions. Its modern form was introduced thirty years ago, with the publication of the classic Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays by Berlekamp, Conway, and Guy, and interest has rapidly increased in recent decades. This book is a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the subject, tracing its development from first principles and examples through many of its most recent advances. Roughly half the book is devoted to a rigorous treatment of the classical theory; the remaining material is an in-depth presentation of topics that appear for the first time in textbook form, including the theory of misere quotients and Berlekamp's generalized temperature theory. Packed with hundreds of examples and exercises and meticulously cross-referenced, Combinatorial Game Theory will appeal equally to students, instructors, and research professionals. More than forty open problems and conjectures are mentioned in the text, highlighting the many mysteries that still remain in this young and exciting field. Aaron Siegel holds a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley and has held positions at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute and the Institute for Advanced Study. He was a partner at Berkeley Quantitative, a technology-driven hedge fund, and is presently employed by Twitter, Inc.

Portfolio. Number 79 of 100. A collection of thirteen original gelatin silver prints of various sizes all dry mounted in white boards. The highlight of the portfolio is one of the best known images from Aaron Siskind: "Jerome, AZ" The print measures 4.5" wide by 6" high and is pencil signed by Siskind beneath the image. The other photographers in the portfolio are: Jerry Aronson, Constance Brenner, Thomas Brown, Barry Burlison, Linda S. Connor, Joe Crumley, Antonio Fernandez, Joseph Jachna, James Newberry, Stephen Ryan, Arthur Siegel, and Karin Vanek. All images are in fine condition and are in a fine plexiglass box that can be used to display the images. All photographs are signed. Please note that this is a heavy and oversized book and will require extra shipping.

Large 8vo, pp. xiv, 523, [7]; yellow and blue boards; corner bumped, else fine. Signed at the back of the book by three mathematicians who contributed to the advancement of combinatorial game theory: Richard Guy, John Conway, and Elwyn Berlekamp. Volume 146 in the Graduate Studies in Mathematics series.
