About the Book:
"ONAG" (On Numbers and Games) is a groundbreaking work that explores the relationship between transfinite numbers and mathematical games. Originally written to define and explore the connection between these fields, the book has become a cornerstone in the study of game theory. It presents a mathematically sophisticated yet highly accessible guide to the subject, particularly focusing on the innovative concept of surreal numbers.
In this work, Conway introduces surreal numbers as a new class that includes both real and ordinal numbers. These surreal numbers are used to analyze game strategies, contributing to the development of game theory in a unique and impactful way.
The second edition includes additional insights into recent developments in mathematical game theory, especially regarding surreal numbers and the additive theory of partizan games.
