Game theory is the mathematical modeling of strategic interaction among rational (and irrational) agents. It includes the modeling of conflict among nations, political campaigns, competition among firms, and trading behavior in markets. The course will provide the basics: representing games and strategies, the extensive form (which computer scientists call game trees), Bayesian games (modeling things like auctions), repeated games, and more. We'll include a variety of examples including classic games and a few applications.
