For thousands of years, games and puzzles have been an enjoyable and rewarding aspect of human civilization. They tease our brains. They challenge our memories. They strengthen our competitive skills. And whether it's chess, poker, or Sudoku, most games have this in common: Everything you need to win is rooted in mathematics.

Quote:

improve the ways you win games and solve puzzles 
better understand exciting concepts in everything from algebra to probability to game theory 
make better decisions and take calculated risks in personal investing and other real-world situations 
keep your mind active and sharp at any age  and, perhaps best of all,
discover whole new levels of enjoyment with games you only thought you knew how to play.

A Math-Centric Way to Play Games

With the same characteristic excitement that has won him the acclaim of countless of our lifelong learners, Professor Benjamin covers a range of games, puzzles, and brainteasers that we've all played, tried to play, or wanted to play at some point.

Zero-sum games: Many of the most popular games are what mathematicians and strategists call zero-sum games, or contests against an intelligent adversary whose aims oppose yours. Alongside Professor Benjamin, you'll uncover math-centric, proven ways to succeed at backgammon, poker, and even a simple game of rock-paper-scissors.

The Mathematics of Games and Puzzles takes an elementary mathematical approach to understanding how each game and puzzle is played and won. While the mathematics in this course is detailed, Professor Benjamin always makes sure to break down the complexity into simple language that anyone eager to learn can grasp.

Discover the Tips and Tricks of Champions

When should you hit or stand in blackjack? If the dealer's up-card is 7 or higher, then hit until your total is 17 or higher. If the up-card is 4, 5, or 6, then take no chances-not even when your total is 12.
In the poker game of Texas Hold'em, being dealt an ace-king is a strong hand, but it still loses to randomly dealt hands about one-third of the time. It even loses to a pair of deuces 53% of the time.
Frustrated with a Sudoku grid? Look for hidden singles (numbers that can only find one place to go in a row, column, or box). When you find a number with only two possible squares in a box, lightly pencil that number in both places and use it to try to solve other trouble spots.

Professor Benjamin's lessons are filled with strategies like these  some for an entire game, others for a particular scenario, many of them straight from champion players. In putting this course together, he consulted with experts (including some world champions) at backgammon, poker, chess, Rubik's Cube, and Sudoku, along with professionals in the casino gaming industry.

Improve Your Odds of Becoming a Winner

With this course, you'll find yourself in the hands of a master instructor. Professor Benjamin is a past winner of the American Backgammon Tour and a firm believer that learning math should be just as fun and enjoyable as playing games. You'll quickly see why Professor Benjamin has won three awards from the Mathematical Association of America, and why Reader's Digest named him "America's Best Math Whiz."

Insightful and entertaining, The Mathematics of Games and Puzzles is a fun-filled opportunity to engage with math, strengthen your mental skills, and increase the chances that the next time someone asks you if you're up for a game, you'll come out a winner.
