Game theory is the study of how decisions are made when the result of a choice depends on the actions of others. This course will introduce a variety of common tools and methods used in game theory, focusing on economic uses but also including biological and political applications. Emphasis will be placed not only on mastery of the models, but on distinguishing proper tools of analysis for various situations. The course will cover traditional game theory, evolutionary game theory, and network games. Articles from both the popular press and scholarly work along with real life examples will be incorporated to show these approaches in action.
