Game theory is to games of strategy what probability theory is to games of chance. This nontechnical presentation of the essential ideas of two-person game theory demonstrates how mathematics can be applied to the study of human behavior and decision-making. Readers with a basic knowledge of algebra and simple analytic geometry can easily follow the author's explanations of such concepts as "utility, " "strategy, " "mixed strategy, " and the difference between "non zero" and "zero-sum" games. As they come t understand these and other aspects of game theory, readers will discover fascinating links between amusements like chess and tic-tac-toe and larger issues such as politics, economic struggles, and war -- even the battle of the sexes. |
