About the Class

There is mathematics in everything...including the chessboard, We''ll observe some chessboard problems are can be solved using mathematics... One of these is the N-Queens Problem which also leads to a beautiful mathematical result...

I would want you to actually think about this one before joining the session...the problem wants us to place 8 Queens on the chessboard such that that none of them is able to capture any other using the standard chess queen''s moves.

Here is one solution of the problem...



There are many others. And there is a mathematical symmetry in the solutions. We will discuss the problem in detail in the session. For more information, visit my blog PentaMath.com

Keywords: symmetry, solutions, chess, chess board, mathematics, queens problem, mathematics
