Reviews
Game theory's influence is felt in a wide range of disciplines, and the authors deliver masterfully on the challenge of presenting both the breadth and coherence of its underlying world-view. The book achieves a remarkable synthesis, introducing the reader to the blend of economic insight, mathematical elegance, scientific impact, and counter-intuitive punch that characterizes game theory as a field."" - Jon Kleinberg, Cornell University, 2006 Nevanlinna Prize winner ""A game theory textbook by people who love ... games!

Synopsis
Presents a rigorous introduction to the mathematics of game theory without losing sight of the joy of the subject. This is done by focusing on theoretical highlights 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 and modern topics are covered., We live in a highly connected world with multiple self-interested agents interacting and myriad opportunities for conflict and cooperation. The goal of game theory is to understand these opportunities. This book presents a rigorous introduction to the mathematics of game theory without losing sight of the joy of the subject. 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 (algorithmic game theory), economics (auctions and matching markets), social choice (voting theory), biology (signaling and evolutionary stability), 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. The book is appropriate for a first course in game theory at either the undergraduate or graduate level, whether in mathematics, economics, computer science, engineering, or statistics. The importance of game-theoretic thinking transcends the academic setting-for every action we take, we must consider not only its direct effects, but also how it influences the incentives of others.

    The DVD is brand new in the original sealed package as the descendants said it was. Therefore it has zero scratches. The seller shipped it very quickly and the shipping was free as the listing said it would be. It was verified reasonably priced. With the DVD being brand new its appearance is excellent. I highly recommend this seller and I would buy from them again.
