Masterclass Maths: Playing Games: winning, drawing and stealing non-existing things

Booking Deadline:

In a game of Noughts and Crosses (or Tic-Tac-Toe), you can always avoid losing. What happens if we make the board bigger, i.e. from 3 by 3 to 5 by 5 or even 10 by 10? In this masterclass, you will learn how mathematicians are analysing these games. Through playing a few simple games, you'll learn key concepts in combinatorial game theory and create winning strategies.

This event is part of our Masterclass series and is open to Year 11 students.

Students do not need to be studying any particular subject to take part as this session is beginner friendly.

There is also the option of adding on a campus tour.
