The Best Strategy?

Game theory is the mathematics of strategy, the study of how decisions are made when outcomes depend on the choices of others. Developed in the 20th century by John von Neumann. It is widely used in economics, business, politics, and computer science.

 

This workshop is full of exciting strategic challenges. After a brief introduction to the history of game theory, you will play different games to discover whether a winning strategy exists and if you can find it.
