Mathematics of Tabletop Games provides a bridge between mathematics and hobby tabletop gaming. Instead of focusing on games mathematicians play, such as nim and chomp, this book starts with the tabletop games played by avid gamers and hopes to address the question: which field of mathematics concerns itself with this situation?

Readers interested in either mathematics or tabletop games will find this book an engaging way to begin exploring the other topic or the connection between the topics.

Features

Presents an entry-level exposition of interesting mathematical concepts that are not commonly taught outside of upper-level mathematics courses
Acts as a resource for mathematics instructors who wish to provide new examples of standard mathematical concepts
Features material that may help game designers and developers make design decisions about game mechanisms
Provides working Python code that can be used to solve common questions about games
Covers a broad range of mathematical topics that could be used as survey material for undergraduates curious about mathematics.

matemáticas en el contexto de juegos de mesa – December 18, 2024

El libro explora diferentes áreas de matemáticas en relación a conocidos juegos de mesa. Teoría de grafos para ticket to ride, teoría de juegos en Nemesis, probabilidades en juegos de mazmorreo etc
Se enfoca en las matemáticas, más que en los juegos de mesa, pero siempre introduciendo conceptos casi desde cero, así que no hace falta tener una base muy fuerte para sacar una intuición. No profundiza en exceso pero algunos capítulos pueden llegar a abrumar un poco por la cantidad de fórmulas.
Muy recomendable para quien le interesen las matemáticas y sea aficionado a juegos de mesa.
