Game Theory

This series already started, but welcome to join the last lecture.
Game Theory, which revolves around mathematical models of conflict and competition, plays an increasingly important role in many branches of science, such as economics, biology, computer science, psychology, political science and law. 

The societal relevance of 'Game Theory' is illustrated by the fact that quite a few game theorists have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics, such as Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth in 2012. 

In these lecture series, we introduce the basic concepts, examine applications in several areas, and discuss experimental studies on decision-making.
