In this lively and entertaining book Power-Up, Matthew Lane, mathematician and cofounder of a school for aspiring web developers, discusses mathematical pursuit problems in classic games like Missile Command and explains how each time you play Tetris, you’re grappling with one of the most famous unsolved problems in all of mathematics and computer science. Along the way, Lane discusses why Family Feud and Pictionary make for ho-hum video games, how realism in video games (or the lack of it) influences learning, what video games can teach us about the mathematics of voting, and how video game designers use mathematics.
