This session is hosted by Dr. Tiago Hirth, MoMath's 2026–2027 Visiting Professor for Public Outreach, and is devoted to The Dots and Boxes Game: Sophisticated Child's Play by Elwyn Berlekamp. The book shows that the familiar game of connecting dots to form boxes hides a surprising complexity, teaching advanced strategies to win at any level, with chapters of strategy mixed with sample problems and solutions. Those strategies also apply to other games such as Strings-and-Coins and Nimstring.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/tween-primes-a-discussion-of-the-magic-misfits-by-neil-patri-54105/", "official_url": "https://momath.org/tween-primes/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/ff19babf200f73c61e364ad7430962845c236398644daaa873c8640fb08d5a50-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-08T16:30:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "National Museum of Mathematics", "address": "5th Avenue 225, 10010 New York", "tickets": ""}, {"start": "2026-12-06T16:30:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "National Museum of Mathematics", "address": "5th Avenue 225, 10010 New York", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Recreational Mathematics: “Tiling Problems: Introducing reptiles and chasing specters,” a minicourse hosted by Visiting Professor Dr. Tiago Hirth", "start": "2026-11-18T18:30:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-18T19:45:00-05:00", "place": "National Museum of Mathematics", "address": "5th Avenue 225, 10010 New York", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "workshops-courses", "tags": ["games/puzzle", "science/mathematics"], "description": "“Tiling Problems: Introducing reptiles and chasing specters” is an in-person session of the Recreational Mathematics minicourse at the National Museum of Mathematics.
