To view the
notebooks you'll need the LiveMath plug-in, found at Mathematics of a Casino Game First, read the rules of the game at http://www.uri.edu/artsci/math/clark/mthdl/index.htm and actually get to play by following the instructions that you find at that page. After you're confident that you understand how the game works, use your browser to return here. Stripped of its physical details, the game boils down to entering the numbers 0 through 6, in arrangements which you choose, in the placeholders for DiskA, DiskB and DiskC, below. Highlight a position and type your number or use the Tab key to move from left to right typing as you go. After you're done, make sure that the Check reports that all three disks are OK. The results readjust to reflect the changes you make. Don't lose sight of the fact that you're trying to become a long-run winner in this game. Original mathematical design © 2003 by Dean Clark |
