Course Description

This interactive course revolves around problem-solving and both playing and analyzing mathematical games. Throughout the course, students are given a sequence of carefully selected problems to solve individually. Students are given ample time to think about the questions - with hints from the instructors as needed - and they receive follow-up problems after each problem solved. Later in the course, the solutions and key learnings are presented by the instructors. Topics include mathematical games, graph theory, chapters from combinatorics, information theory, and invariants.
