Gaming mathematics

the world, videos games have now become an ever growing craze. Perhaps its most impressive quality is the rapid growth of the gaming community. Along with this vast market came a vast breed of gamers. Gamers can be broken down into various categories based on a plethora of things. From their approach to games in general, to how much time or effort they dedicate to gaming, all the way to what games they play and how they play them, gamers cover a wide array of personalities and traits. For me…

The Change in Female Video Game Characters When one enters a video game store and looks around at the different covers for the games. Most games one picks up will have a male character on the front and a less prominent woman character in the back(see fig. 1). In fact, most principal video game characters are male. The supporting roles are usually played by female characters if there are any female characters.Image Even some of the first characters like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man although they…

minorities in videogames, as well as the racism and sexism often involved in the production and gaming communities. Kimi Johnson acknowledged these problems during her presentation for the class, but she’s hopeful for the future of gaming. She pointed to indie games as a step in the right direction. This War of Mine requires moral decisions to be made and encourages empathy on the part of the player. This type of gaming encourages positive identity formation, as moral choices are rewarded in the…

Should gaming be gender inclusive? One could argue that girls in gaming is unnecessary and not nearly a problem, they’d be wrong. It’s extremely concerning that so few girls are into gaming. Being attentive to girls in gaming can prove essential, unless done in a derogatory way which can prove discouraging. Females in the gaming industry can prove helpful to both the gaming society and themselves. Their presence in the gaming community can be beneficial to everyone involved. With proper…

Ladies are not new to the world of gaming by any stretch. However, even in 2016, there seems to be a great divide in the gaming world between male and female gamers.

Gambling has had a long and deep-rooted history throughout time and even in the founding of the United States. Lotteries were used in the early American colonies to establish and fund themselves along with instituting famous universities, such as Harvard, Yale, and William and Mary to name a few. Beginning in the early 1900’s, states began banning gambling because of its association with corruption and violence. It has long been proposed that gambling from a Christian viewpoint is a sin…

Mathematics is the motor which drives the sciences and is essential to many other subjects. The sciences approach the truth but it is only through the purity of mathematics that we can arrive at complete truth. I am particularly interested in contributing to this research and furthering my understanding of the complex field of mathematics. My inspiration is Alan Turing. I am currently reading the cleverly named 'Alan Turing the Enigma' by Andrew Hodges and marvel at his contributions to the…

The gambling activities themselves are clearly motivated by economic goals as opposed to recreational gambling, and the social scene reflects this as well. Two characters went on to the casino floor with the goal to win mass amounts of money whether it was to pay for a fake child, or to get out of debt. While only one of the two attempts proved to be lucrative, the gambling aspect shows both of the characters winning more than $100000 each. The apparent luck of both characters drew an audience…

The majority of people would be quick to disagree with internet gaming being considered as gambling. Honestly, I disagreed with this statement when I was first introduced to the topic. Then, I realized that there is more to internet gaming than just simple puzzles, role play games, and others that normally do not involve money. Let’s not forget games such as online bingo, poker, slots, and the online casinos in general. Just because these are online and not in a real casino setting, many people…
