A Gentle Introduction to Game Theory (Mathematical World, Vol. 13)
This book is an excellent introduction to the mathematical aspects of game theory for beginners without a background in calculus. --Journal of Mathematical Psychology"Game theory, in the sense of von Neumann and Morgenstern, studies models of competition in situations of uncertainty. It provides a means for both deriving desirable strategies and explaining naturally occurring behavior; it finds applications ranging from economics and politics to evolutionary biology. All this and its intrinsic human interest (read here how it elucidates the outcome of the Cuban Missile Crisis) make it a favorite undergraduate topic, particularly for students majoring outside mathematics. There is not a faster read in the realm of higher mathematics. Recommended for college libraries. Undergraduates and up." ---- Choice
