Description for Game Theory: A Playful Introduction
Paperback. Series: Student Mathematical Library. Num Pages: 360 pages. BIC Classification: PBUD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
This book offers a gentle introduction to the mathematics of both sides of game theory: combinatorial and classical. The combination allows for a dynamic and rich tour of the subject united by a common theme of strategic reasoning. The first four chapters develop combinatorial game theory, beginning with an introduction to game trees and mathematical induction, then investigating the games of Nim and Hackenbush. The analysis of these games concludes with the cornerstones of the Sprague-Grundy Theorem and the Simplicity Principle. The last eight chapters of the book offer a scenic journey through the ...
