Game Theory
by Thomas S. Ferguson
Publisher: UCLA 2008
Number of pages: 208
Description:
In this text, we present various mathematical models of games and study the phenomena that arise. In some cases, we will be able to suggest what courses of action should be taken by the players. In others, we hope simply to be able to understand what is happening in order to make better predictions about the future.
