Description

Book Synopsis

Combining bold graphics with easy-to-understand text, this is the perfect introduction to game theory - the fascinating science of strategy and decision-making - for those who are short on time but hungry for knowledge.

Written by a team of subject experts, Simply Game Theory explains this essential and fascinating subject more clearly than ever before, untangling everything from "players" and "pay-offs" - the basics of how humans, animals, and machines make decisions in competitive and cooperative settings - to the influence of game theory on everything from business and management to evolution and AI.

Discover all of the key game-theory concepts, such as "The Tragedy of the Commons" (the tendency of individuals to over-exploit shared resources), learn why the same decision could be rational or irrational depending on the context, and find out how game theory plays an active role in pricing wars and voting systems, dating apps, chess, and cryptocurrency markets.

Whether you are studying psychology, business, economics, politics, or STEM-related subjects at school or college, or simply want a jargon-free overview of this essential, multidisciplinary subject, this indispensable guide is packed with everything you need to understand the basics quickly and easily.
