This course offers an introduction to game theory with an emphasis on its applications. It covers applications in economics, business, political science, sociology, international relations, psychology, biology, and recreation. No prior knowledge of game theory is presumed and the required mathematical background is minimal (high school algebra and one course in calculus will be sufficient).
