About this course
What is this?
Game theory is the theory of decision problems with multiple decision makers, often
with conflicting objectives. The theory seeks to describe the actions of decision
makers in various settings, and, in some cases, to aid in the design of incentives
to steer the collective actions towards specified objectives. The course focuses
on fundamental theory, with applications to a broad range of problems arising
in networks, such as resource allocation, incentives for investment, and pricing..
