Heath, 1991), carved out a significant niche in the advanced undergraduate market; it was intellectually serious and more up-to-date than its competitors, but also accessibly written. Its central thesis was that game theory allows us to understand many kinds of interactions between people, a point that Binmore amply demonstrated through a rich range of examples and applications. This replacement for the now out-of-date 1991 textbook retains the entertaining examples, but changes the organization to match how game theory courses are actually taught, making Playing for Real a more versatile text that almost all possible course designs will find easier to use, with less jumping about than before. In addition, the problem sections, already used as a reference by many teachers, have become even more clever and varied, without becoming too technical. \u003cem\u003ePlaying for Real\u003c\/em\u003e will sell into advanced undergraduate courses in game\u003cbr\u003etheory, primarily those in economics, but also courses in the social sciences, and serve as a reference for economists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891972980887,"sku":"9780195300574","price":10716.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195300574.webp?v=1781185323","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/playing-for-real-a-text-on-game-theory-9780195300574","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
