Mathematics is more than just arithmetic, algebra, calculus, etc.  If not, mathematics would truly be boring.  Mathematicians love mathematics because it is a game.  A fun game.  It is the mental processes involved in solving problems.  Whether the mathematical problem be applied (example: determining the path of a projectile) or theoretical (example: proving that the square root of 2 is not rational), mathematicians love to exercise these mental processes to solve new problems.  The thrill of solving a difficult problem is akin to the thrill of scoring a winning touchdown, or hitting the winning home run.    For myself, I know this to be true, for I am a mathematician that loves sports and I have felt the thrill from both. Below are a list of games that require problem solving skills.  Have fun playing them.
