An exciting new edition of the popular introduction to
game theory and its applications

The thoroughly expanded Second Edition presents a unique,
hands-on approach to game theory. While most books on the subject
are too abstract or too basic for mathematicians, Game Theory:
An Introduction, Second Edition offers a blend of theory and
applications, allowing readers to use theory and software to create
and analyze real-world decision-making models.

With a rigorous, yet accessible, treatment of mathematics, the
book focuses on results that can be used to determine optimal game
strategies. Game Theory: An Introduction, Second Edition
demonstrates how to use modern software, such as Maple(TM),
Mathematica®, and Gambit, to create, analyze, and implement
effective decision-making models. Coverage includes the main
aspects of game theory including the fundamentals of two-person
zero-sum games, cooperative games, and population games as well as
a large number of examples from various fields, such as economics,
transportation, warfare, asset distribution, political science, and
biology. The Second Edition features:

* A new chapter on extensive games, which greatly expands the
implementation of available models

* New sections on correlated equilibria and exact formulas
for three-player cooperative games

* Many updated topics including threats in bargaining games
and evolutionary stable strategies

* Solutions and methods used to solve all odd-numbered
problems

* A companion website containing the related Maple and
Mathematica data sets and code

A trusted and proven guide for students of mathematics and
economics, Game Theory: An Introduction, Second Edition is
also an excellent resource for researchers and practitioners in
economics, finance, engineering, operations research, statistics,
and computer science.
