Gloria Fiestras-Janeiro\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: American Mathematical Society, United States\nImprint: American Mathematical Society\nISBN-13: 9781470475635, 978-1470475635\nSynopsis\nGame theory provides a mathematical setting for analyzing competition and cooperation in interactive situations. The theory has been famously applied in economics, but is relevant in many other sciences, such as psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, biology, and political science. This book presents an introductory and up-to-date course on game theory addressed to mathematicians and economists, and to other scientists having a basic mathematical background. The book is self-contained, providing a formal description of the classic game-theoretic concepts together with rigorous proofs of the main results in the field. The theory is illustrated through abundan.
