Game Theory and Strategy

Rate this book
This book pays careful attention to applications of game theory in a wide variety of disciplines. The applications are treated in considerable depth. The book assumes only high school algebra, yet gently builds to mathematical thinking of some sophistication. Game Theory and Strategy might serve as an introduction to both axiomatic mathematical thinking and the fundamental process of mathematical modelling. It gives insight into both the nature of pure mathematics, and the way in which mathematics can be applied to real problems.

can't believe I'm putting a textbook in my "toptier" shelf, but man... this really changed the way I think about things. plus, for a textbook it is very interesting and... readable?

it's pretty short so I recommend it

I’ve always loved this book. It’s a great introduction, not too technical for my taste, and with immensely practical, real world examples; and I really enjoyed getting my teeth into the questions at the end of each chapter. My only problem now is, I lent it to a friend who hasn’t returned it.
