Math-Hammer: Maths for Wargamers
« on: May 09, 2011, 05:15:02 PM »
I've been writing a series of articles for the A Call To Arms e-zine on a maths from a gaming perspective: I'll make a compilation thread here in case anyone wants a look. I've dotted around quite a bit, most of this stuff is AS Level (so not pips easy, but not too difficult either).

2. Statistics (Binomial Distributions):

3. Algorithms (Kruskal's, Road building):

4. Algorithms (Djikstra's, Pathfinding):

Does time go slowly around you? You seem to get more done in a night than a normal human being would in a week.
