Abstract: There are many simple games that can be played which have interesting mathematical interpretations and analyses.
In this talk, we'll analyze (and play) a few of these games, most of them cousins of the game of nim. We'll develop strategies for playing these games which depend on mathematical properties. We may also talk about the game of Hackenbush.
Target Audience: While there is plenty of math in this talk, there aren't any specific prerequisites aside from being able to add integers (and even that will be thrown out the window!).
