COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will introduce students to the basic principles of game theory, which analyzes human behavior in strategic interactions. In such situations the wellbeing of a given participant depends not only on her own actions but also on actions taken by others. Game Theory will help you understand, and possibly predict, human interaction in a wide range of settings. It can be applied to economics, biology, political science, sociology, anthropology and other social science disciplines.( Course Syllabus )
