In the 1940s Piet Hein and John Nash invented a two-players game over an hexagonal board called Hex. The study of winning strategies is deeply related to fascinating mathematical results. Angelo Valente (PhD student, Dept. of Mathematics) will help us to connect the game of Hex with concepts in topology and mathematical analysis.
Games to play: Hex, TwixT
