Course Description
This fascinating branch of mathematics examines situations in which players must chose among several different actions to achieve the best possible outcome. Originally developed as a tool in economics, game theory is now used to explore many different fields, including politics, psychology, biology, ecology and philosophy, as well as to analyze standard recreational games. This course explores the basic ideas of game theory and some of its many applications, including the Prisoners Dilemma and its relationship to the Cold War, evolutionary theory, and popular culture.
