Game Theory in Action is a textbook about using game theory across
a range of real-life scenarios. From traffic accidents to the sex
lives of lizards, Stephen Schecter and Herbert Gintis show students
how game theory can be applied in diverse areas including animal
behavior, political science, and economics. The book's examples and
problems look at such fascinating topics as crime-control
strategies, climate-change negotiations, and the power of the
Oracle at Delphi. The text includes a substantial treatment of
evolutionary game theory, where strategies are not chosen through
rational analysis, but emerge by virtue of being successful. This
is the side of game theory that is most relevant to biology; it
also helps to explain how human societies evolve. Aimed at students
who have studied basic calculus and some differential equations,
Game Theory in Action is the perfect way to learn the concepts and
practical tools of game theory. * Aimed at students who have
studied calculus and some differential equations* Examples are
drawn from diverse scenarios, ranging from traffic accidents to the
sex lives of lizards* A substantial treatment of evolutionary game
theory* Useful problem sets at the end of each chapter
