Special Topics course "Bridge to Mathematics" by Anton Leykin, for the Honors Program section and a general section.

Prerequisites: 

TBA

Course Text: 

TBA

Topic Outline: 

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.
