I am a mathematician and computer
programmer from Chicago. I have a BA in
Mathematics from Northeastern Illinois University,
and I am also Sun Certified. Since 2000, I've been
working on the Towers of Hanoi; I programmed the
multi-peg version in Java.
The multi-peg version involves 4 or more pegs, as
opposed to the usual 3. These pegs are enumerated
as follows: the initial peg,
the final peg, and 2 or more auxiliary pegs. My
algorithm for solving this puzzle is recursive and
dynamic. The puzzle software
can be found at the following link: Multi-Peg Towers of Hanoi.
The format of the software is Java Archive (JAR); these
can be
run by saving to your computer and double clicking on
them.
