Bridge to Mathematics

No, this is not a pre-math remedial course: "bridge" is a popular card game. We will learn how to play and then play. Studying parts of combinatorics and probability theory relevant to the game should help us play bridge better. We will split time between theory (both bridge and math) and practice (play and discussion). Bridge puzzles, math puzzles, mini-tournaments, post-game analysis -- all will be components of this course.

The current syllabus (Fall 2026) is available. The class meets at Clough 127 on Fridays from 2pm to 4:45pm.
