( ) A fun and fabulous introduction to game theory, this is also an entertaining read for individuals with some mathematical background in the area. I read it soon after taking a course in algorithmic game theory and found it a wonderful way of augmenting my understanding of the math behind game theory with some of the sociological and economic aspects. Game theorists tend to treat people as rational agents. News flash: they aren't--or if they are, they don't tend to use the same definition of rationality as the game theorists. The stories inside do a great job of showing how the mathematics often fall short of capturing real human behaviour. This book does a fantastic job of not only explaining the basics of game theory, but bringing the concepts to life. One of the best, (albeit only) books ive read on game theory. Did a good job introducing the wide array of types of game theory and the strategies that go along with each game. Is not a book i was able to completely grasp with just one reading. Perhaps i will read it again, or another similar book about game theory and cooperation. I found the notes on each chapter at the end of the book helpful and interesting. This book has some really interesting information and offers some clear explanations of game theory concepts and real world examples. I enjoyed the things I learned. What I did not enjoy was the "we can save the world if we all cooporate" mantra. While that may be a true, I don't think this book will be the tool to make it happen. I really apprectiated the theory and smaller scale examples and how they can affect our personal relationships. I would say this book is 50% too long. This is a thorough and informative survey of how game theory can apply to all kinds of interactions. Even better, Fisher shows how using game-theory principles can help us design more winning outcomes. I borrowed this book to read it, and it turned out to be so helpful that it is now on my shopping list. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The IgNobel Prize-winning author of How to Dunk a Doughnut draws on the science of game theory to explain how human beings cooperate in everyday life. No library descriptions found. |
