This weekend I am at a conference and am presenting math examples that I have used in my classes coming from backgammon. A paper about it is at http://student.ccbcmd.edu/~rkoca1/bgtalkpaperV2[1].htm
I have made the following resources list to hand out. Is there any thing else that I should definitely include? I want to avoid commercial endeavors so things like XG site and lessons sites got left off. Note that it looks nicer than it shows up in this post.
