ONAG, as the book is commonly known, is one of those rare publications that sprang to life in a moment of creative energy and has remained influential for over a quarter of a century. Originally written to define the relation between the theories of transfinite numbers and mathematical games, the resulting work is a mathematically sophisticated but eminently enjoyable guide to ...(展开全部)

肯·宾默尔是一个从数学转行的经济学家，他把一生贡献给了博弈论及其在经济学、进化生物学、心理学和道德哲学中的应用。他因为参与设计为英国纳税人赚了350亿美元的电信拍卖而闻名于世，但其主要研究贡献在于议价理论及其实验检验。他是英国科学院和美国艺术与科学研究院的院士。他著有12本著作和大约90篇研究论文。他是伦敦大学学院的经济学名誉教授。

Two most important essays by the famous German mathematician: one provides an arithmetic, rigorous foundation for the irrational numbers, thereby a rigorous meaning of continuity in analysis. The other is an attempt to give logical basis for transfinite numbers and properties of the natural numbers.

According to Roger Caillois, play is "an occasion of pure waste: waste of time, energy, ingenuity, skill, and often of money." In spite of this - or because of it - play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual development. In this classic study, Caillois defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from...(展开全部)

This important new text and reference for researchers and students in machine learning, game theory, statistics and information theory offers the first comprehensive treatment of the problem of predicting individual sequences. Unlike standard statistical approaches to forecasting, prediction of individual sequences does not impose any probabilistic assumption on the data-genera...(展开全部)

We have been curious about numbers—and prime numbers—since antiquity. One notable new direction this century in the study of primes has been the influx of ideas from probability. The goal of this book is to provide insights into the prime numbers and to describe how a sequence so tautly determined can incorporate such a striking amount of randomness. There are two ways in which...(展开全部)

Game theory has become increasingly popular among undergraduate as well as business school students. This text is the first to provide both a complete theoretical treatment of the subject and a variety of real-world applications, primarily in economics, but also in business, political science, and the law. Strategies and Games grew out of Prajit Dutta's experience teaching a co...(展开全部)

Author Chip Heath has excelled at teaching others about making ideas stick and here, in Making Numbers Count, he outlines specific principles that reveal how to translate a number into our brain’s language. This book is filled with examples of extreme number makeovers, vivid before-and-after examples that take a dry number and present it in a way that people click in and say “W...(展开全部)
