This book is definitely not for the mathematically challenged.
It requires background in statistics, calculus, differential equations and linear algebra in order to
understand the concepts that are presented within this book.
But aside from that minor drawback, it definitely presents the concepts of two player games of
war quite well.
I would recommend this book for anyone that has at least the mathematical background that was
previously stated. Such readers' will definitely find this book a most fascinating read that is hard
to put down.
