Objectives of the Course The aim is to present the game problem with three basic elements: players (individuals participating in the game, i.e. unit-person-group), strategies (actions that players can take during the game - i.e. options), and utility function (the function of gains or losses that each player expects from the game in different situations).
Course Content Players want to know which options they have and how they should use them in order to optimize their goals. Game Theory responds to this expectation by creating its mathematical infrastructure.
Course Methods and Techniques Lecture, Discussion, Question and Answer, Brainstorming.
