GAME THEORY GTFO

Game theory:

You have x STR and a weapon attack rate of y; the enemy has z DEF and a total defense rate of a; you role dise and happen to attack; he roles dise and happens to not block; you deal min(1, x + y - z - a) damage.

You want a report on famous American mathematicians?  Show the movie "A Brilliant Mind".  Problem solved!

He wasn't even famous until the film was made.

He got a fucking Nobel Prize. He was famous to academia. Who gives a fuck about what the lay public think?

He went to Carnegie Mellon

I think the correct title >>12 was referring to is "A Beautiful Brain"

Ah yes, Fubbbibininni, a great mathematician.

I don't know him, but from this I deduct he must have been European.

He's one of the founders of modern computer science. I would have suggested other more famous examples such as Turing or Von Neumann, but they are all foreign born. You can also look up Quine; he's more of a philosopher/logician but can pass as a mathematician (as a logician).

not really a mathematician then is he. let alone a famous one.

He invented recursion theory, which is a major topic in mathematics. And how famous can a mathematician get anyway?

like study his stuff in a maths course at university.

nope. What branch of maths does that fall under? I have almost finish my third year and never come across it.

It's kind of inbetween computer science, maths, and physics. It basically says that there is no computer more powerful than a UTM.

Back on topic, if you want a good example of a famous American mathematician, how about Theodore Kaczynski?

Don't change these.
