This is done by focusing on theoretical highlights (e.g., at least six Nobel Prize winning results are developed from scratch) and by presenting exciting connections of game theory to other fields, such as computer science, economics, social choice, biology, and learning theory. Both classical topics, such as zero-sum games, and modern topics, such as sponsored search auctions, are covered. Along the way, beautiful mathematical tools used in game theory are introduced, including convexity, fixed-point theorems, and probabilistic arguments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is appropriate for a first course in game theory, either at the undergraduate or graduate level, whether in mathematics, economics, computer science, or statistics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orient Blackswan Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45616514924695,"sku":"9781470454784","price":1119.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781470454784.webp?v=1769294995","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/game-theory-alive-9781470454784","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
