Gamesters at conferences play games. #Red7 at lunch on the final day (day 4) of #Integers2025.
This was a great conference and a real blast to be a part of! Thanks to Bruce and all the organizers for letting me be a part of it.
On the way to #Integers2025 , I told my colleague, trapped in the car with me, that I was going to be lost in the #NumberTheory talks. I mused that all I remembered from abstract algebra that might be relevant was Cayley groups.
I didn't see that name (Cayley) until day three. I failed even at knowing what I wouldn't know.
The second day of #Integers2025 was excellent! I heard some great talks, especially one from Carrie Finch-Smith. Me and the other three gamesters I know about here also took some time and I think we found a game to be #PSPACE complete, so we're definitely going to be writing that up!
Tonight we got to see a tree that owns itself. Cool stuff!
The organizers have been totally awesome. Great conference so far!
Day 1 of #Integers2025 just wrapped up! Integers is a #NumberTheory and #Combinatorics conference. There's historically a bit of CGT too. Here are my summaries of the #CombinatorialGames talks: https://combinatorialgametheory.blogspot.com/2025/05/integers-2025-cgt-talks.html
Two of the talks were the result of #UndergraduateResearch!
Here are my summaries of the keynote and afternoon session at #Sprouts2025: https://combinatorialgametheory.blogspot.com/2025/04/sprouts-2025-keynote-and-afternoon.html
A lot of other great things happened yesterday, so I wrote another post about that: https://combinatorialgametheory.blogspot.com/2025/04/sprouts2025-wrap-up.html
Thanks to everyone who came and made Sprouts great this year!
I wrote my summaries of talks for the early morning session of #Sprouts2025 last night: https://combinatorialgametheory.blogspot.com/2025/04/sprouts-2025-morning-talks.html
