Representaion Supposing Books Games of Strategy
All introductory textbooks begin by attempting to convince the student readers that the subject is of great importance in the world, and therefore merits their attention. The physical sciences and engineering claim to be the basis of modern technology and therefore of modern life; the social sciences discuss big issues of governance, for example, democracy and taxation; the humanities claim that they revive your soul after it has been deadened by exposure to the physical and social sciences and to engineering. Where does the subject "games of strategy," often also called game theory, fit into this picture, and why should you study it? Dixit and Skeath's Games of Strategy offers a practical motivation much more individual and closer to your personal concerns than most other subjects. You play games of strategy all the time: with your parents, siblings, friends, enemies, even with your professors. You have probably acquired a lot of instinctive expertise, and we hope you will recognize in what follows some of the lessons you have already learned. This book's authors will build on this experience, systematize it, and develop it to the point where you will be able to improve your strategic skills and use them more methodically. Opportunities for such uses will appear throughout the rest of your life; you will go on playing such games with your employers, employees, spouses, children, and even strangers.Not that the subject lacks wider importance. Similar games are played in business, politics, diplomacy, wars--in fact, whenever people interact to strike mutually agreeable deals or to resolve conflicts. Being able to recognize such games will enrich your understanding of the world around you, and will make you a better participant in all its affairs.

Good, entertaining writing. Very helpful for beginners learning the ideas and uses of game theory. Wish it had more of the mathematical applications.I liked it, but it was definitely a challenge since I haven't had mathematics for so long.
Skimmed through most of it.

Стратегические игры игры, которые мы ведём в повседневной жизни, в политике, бизнесе, войнах. В биологии, на которую существенно повлияли концепции эволюционных игр. Конечно же, теория игр используется для анализа взаимоотношений между людьми (соответственно в психологии, философии). Спорт, азартные игры, аукционы, - всё это отличные примеры видов деятельности человека, которые развивались и продолжают развиваться параллельно теории игр.Будете ли вы вести переговоры, принимать важное решение в
So far in my academic life, Games of Strategy has been the only textbook that I have read cover to cover and actually enjoyed. This book is a lovely introduction to the world of game theory. It is one of those subjects that, once you've learned it, you can't look at the world the same way again.I particularly enjoy the wide variety of topics covered, from auction design to bargaining to strategic voting to evolutionary games. For all of these topics, Dixit, Skeath, and Reiley manage to provide
A thorough, accessible, review of game theory. It is designed to be accessible to mathematically naive readers, which is a plus for some I guess, but I missed a deeper mathematical grounding. I loved, though, the real-world applications -- fascinating case studies, including the Cuban missile crisis.
