Description
Game theory has become an indispensable tool for social scientists studying strategic behaviour in individuals, firms and countries. However, its mathematical complexity can be daunting for students with limited mathematical background. Insights into Game Theory addresses this challenge by providing a clear introduction to the subject's key concepts and ideas without relying on formal mathematical notation. The authors explore four distinct topics - college admission, social justice, majority voting, coalitions and co-operative games, and a bankruptcy problem from the Talmud - to illustrate various areas of game theory. This approach makes the subject more accessible and engaging for students. By examining these topics in an alternative mathematical experience, Insights into Game Theory offers a fascinating exploration of game theory's role in the social sciences.
