The mathematical analysis of games, focusing on variance
T Tom Verhoeff · TU/e Research Portal · 2009
Games, Mathematics, and Decisions. Games have always been loved by mathematicians. Because of their (usually) well-defined rules, games admit a formal analysis, sometimes with surprising results. It is impossible to provide comprehensive coverage in this article. Instead, I will give an overview and focus on the role of variance, which is often overlooked.
