bloodhound Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 recreational mathematics is NOT I repeat NOT another word for "Game theory".

Dave Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I believe it's a term for things like math puzzles, etc. Game theory was invented by von Newmann, wasn't it? Models wars and stuff from what I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
