Few branches of mathematics have been more influential in the
social sciences than game theory. In recent years, it has become an
essential tool for all social scientists studying the strategic
behaviour of competing individuals, firms and countries. However,
the mathematical complexity of game theory is often very
intimidating for students who have only a basic understanding of
mathematics. Insights into Game Theory addresses this problem by
providing students with an understanding of the key concepts and
ideas of game theory without using formal mathematical notation.
The authors use four very different topics (college admission,
social justice and majority voting, coalitions and co-operative
games, and a bankruptcy problem from the Talmud) to investigate
four areas of game theory. The result is a fascinating introduction
to the world of game theory and its increasingly important role in
the social sciences.
