215b. The Science of Strategy (1)
Strategic behavior occurs in war, in business, in our personal lives,
and even in nature. Game theory is the study of strategy, offering
rigorous methods to analyze and predict behavior in strategic situations.
This course introduces students to game theory and its application in a
wide range of situations. Students learn how to model conflict and
cooperation as abstract games, and develop skills in the fine art of
solving games. Applications are stressed, and these are drawn from many
branches of economics, as well as from a variety of other fields.
Mr. Jehle.
Prerequisites: 100 or 101.
