Abstract:
I will explain a simple gambling game and show how it gives rise to a partial difference equation with boundary conditions: a discrete analogue of a partial differential equation. I will solve them both and then explain the optimal strategy and expected winnings in the game.
On Friday (27th), we are running Coffee and Cake, our weekly welfare event, from 16:00 to 17:00, in MB0.07. Drop in to get a hot drink and some food, and relax with others in an informal and friendly environment.
