Unlock the fascinating world of strategic decision-making with “Introducing Game Theory and Its Applications, Second Edition.” Originally from noted logician Elliot Mendelson, this accessible text offers a clear introduction to the core concepts and methods of game theory. Perfect for undergraduate or graduate students, or for self-study, it begins with combinatorial games, then delves into two-person zero-sum games using linear programming and the simplex method. The book concludes with an exploration of non-zero-sum and multi-player games, including cooperative game theory. Ideal for those with limited mathematical backgrounds needing game theory for economics, business, or science, this book cultivates curiosity and prepares readers for advanced applications. “The Bookish Owl” recommends this essential guide for a foundational understanding of game theory.
