Game Theory Courses

What is Game Theory?

Game theory is the study of how intelligent individuals interact. It looks at models of how we make decisions and interact with others to achieve goals in both cooperative and non-cooperative situations. Research is applied to various types of games including zero-sum, where one sides gain is another’s loss, to complex combinatorial games that look at multiple combinations of moves to determine the optimal strategy and path forward. Game theory was originally developed and applied to economics to determine the behaviors of consumers and markets but is now used to study both human and animal behaviors in a multitude of situations and constraints.
