Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Game Theory: Decisions, Interaction and Evolution, (Paperback)

The outstanding feature of the book is that it provides a unified account of three types of decision problem. It covers the basic ideas of decision theory, classical game theory, and evolutionary game theory in one volume. No background knowledge of economics or biology is required as examples have been carefully selected for their accessibility. There are detailed solutions to the numerous exercises provided at the back of the book, making it ideal for self-study. This introduction to game theory is intended as a first course for undergraduate students of mathematics, but it also contains material which will be of interest to advanced students or researchers in biology and economics. An understanding of basic calculus and probability is assumed but no prior knowledge of game theory is required.
