You’ll also learn that behind even the simplest games lies evidence of the beauty and scope of mathematics in your everyday life.

A math-inspired way to play games: With the same distinctive enthusiasm that has endeared him to many of our learners, Professor Benjamin covers a wide range of games, puzzles, and brain teasers that we all play. We’ve played, tried to play, or once wanted to play.

• Zero-Sum Games: Many of the most popular games are what mathematicians and strategists call zero-sum games, or races against an intelligent opponent whose goals are opposite to yours. With Professor Benjamin, you’ll discover proven, math-driven ways to succeed at the simple games of backgammon, poker, and even scissors.
• Games of Chance: Many of us are intimidated by casino games. And if we aren’t, we’re always looking for ways to outwit our opponents. In addition to revealing the fascinating mathematics behind roulette, craps games, video poker, blackjack and more, Professor Benjamin offers valuable tips on how to improve your bluffing, betting and card counting.
• Classic Puzzles and Brain Games: Whether it’s Sudoku, Solitaire, or even a Rubik’s Cube, puzzles can be as frustrating as they are entertaining. What math tools can help you fill in a Sudoku grid without guessing? How to solve a Rubik’s Cube like second nature? Find all this and more in a series of lectures dedicated to mastering complex challenges.

Mathematics of Games and Puzzles takes a basic mathematical approach to understanding how each game and puzzle is played and won. Although the mathematics in this course is detailed, Professor Benjamin always makes sure to break down the complexity into simple language that anyone eager to learn can understand.

Discover the Tips and Tactics of Champions: These lessons include dozens of specific tips, tricks, strategies, and methods for getting the best of your opponents, improving your technique, increasing your chances of winning, and more. You’ll have a valuable toolbox to take with you every time you’re at the poker table, in front of the chessboard, or reading the morning paper.

• When should you tap or stand in blackjack? If the dealer’s up card is 7 or higher, tap to bring your total to 17 or higher. If the up card is 4, 5 or 6, don’t take any risks – even if your total is 12.
• In Texas Hold’em poker, an ace-of-a-deuce is a strong hand, but it still loses to randomly dealt hands about a third of the time. It even loses to a pair of rain 53% of the time.
• Frustrated with the Sudoku grid? Look for hidden numbers (numbers that can only be found in one place in a row, column, or box). When you find a number with only two possible squares in a box, lightly pencil that number in both places and use it to solve the rest of the problem.

Professor Benjamin’s lessons are filled with such strategies. Some for the entire game, others for a specific scenario, many straight from hero players. In putting this course together, he consulted experts in the casino gaming industry as well as experts (including some world champions) in backgammon, poker, chess, Rubik’s Cube, and Sudoku.

Increase Your Chances of Winning: With this course, you’ll find yourself in the hands of a master trainer. Professor Benjamin is a former winner of the US Backgammon Tour and believes that learning math should be as fun and enjoyable as playing. You’ll immediately see why Professor Benjamin has won three awards from the American Mathematical Association and why Reader’s Digest named him “America’s Best Mathematician.” And with helpful exercises and problems, detailed explanations of mathematical reasoning, visual analysis and animations of specific techniques, and much more, you’ll be eager to play with Professor Benjamin and come back to these lectures whenever you get the chance. The lighter and more fun “Math Games and Puzzles” emphasis on games is a fun opportunity to engage with math, sharpen your mental skills, and increase your chances of coming up with a win the next time someone asks you if you’re ready to play a game.
