Dept. of Mathematics, Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute (RKMVERI) has organised an colloquium on “Peg Solitaire” by Professor Oliver Ramare, Aix-Marseille University, France on 09 April May 2022.
Title: Peg Solitaire
Abstract
Peg Solitaire is an old board game that has existed in several countries under different names. It’s mathematical understanding at the beginning of the 18th century by a report of Leibniz, and continued later, a most notable step having been achieved by a group led by Conway in the sixties. We will present a unified and gentle introduction to the subject ; on our journey, we will encounter vector spaces and modules in dimension 33 and 37, the finite field F_2, some colourings, the integer points in a polyhedron and the simplex algorithm.
