Introducing Game Theory and its Applications (Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications)
This is an important contribution - one that will make demand for this book high. The value of the book can be seen in three distinct characteristics. First, the book does not skimp on providing full details of the theorems (and accompanying proofs) that underpin the strategic study of games. …At a minimum, this book is a wonderful source of games for classroom exercises. …A better understanding of the theory of those games is fundamental to any empirical enterprise, and Introducing Game Theory and Its Applications provides a fine starting point for interested students.-Interfaces, Andrew B. Whitford, University of GeorgiaIn this introductory textbook aimed at anyone trying to understand the implications and applications of game theory, Mendelson provides basic methods for various games that relate to mathematics, economics and business.-Columbia College TodayIt can be recommended to readers with a limited mathematical knowledge who are interested in game theory and its applications in economics, political science and biology.-EMS Newsletter, March 2005
