TPTITLE:The Sprague-Grundy Theorem
TPABSTRACT:Every Computer Scientist knows how to decide who wins a game, if given the complete tree of game states.<nl>I will present the Sprague-Grundy Theorem as an extension of this basic concept.<nl>It will allow us to solve all those annoying games involving heaps of beans, or rows of pebbles, or whatever.<nl>By the end of this talk, you will able to trivialize question B5 on the 1995 Putnam Math Competition.
