The Mathematics of Games
This book examines how simple mathematical analysis can throw unexpected light on games of every type — games of chance, games of skill, games of chance and skill, and automatic games. Discusses classic puzzles as peg solitaire and Rubik's cube. Lucid, instructive, and full of surprises, it will fascinate mathematicians and gamesters alike. 1989 edition.

I use this book to plan year end projects for my higher math classes. I also enjoyed it a lot.
