Game Theory: Decisions, Interaction and Evolution (Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series) - Tapa blanda

“This book is an undergraduate textbook devoted to the study of Game Theory to mathematicians. ... the book is well written and it is one of the best books as a first course in game theory. The book is focused on mathematics students but it can be easily used to students in other fields such as business, economics and biology. ... I strongly recommend this book to the enthusiast of game theory.” (Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, June, 2016)

“This is supposed to be a mathematical introduction to game theory for undergraduate students. I think both students of economics and mathematics (both with a course of calculus, linear algebra and optimization in Rn) can use this book. The idea of the book is to provide the ‘intuition’ behind some important theorems of game theory.” (Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, March, 2014)

"A single-semester elective course in game theory would be an attractive feature of any undergraduate mathematics program. Students would get to use the various mathematical skills they have acquired in a thought-provoking applied context. The book under review is intended as a textbook for such a course. ... Certainly the choice of topics and overall organization is good." (David P. Roberts, MathDL, August, 2007)

The outstanding feature of this 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. Detailed solutions to the numerous exercises are 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 will also interest advanced students or researchers in biology and economics.
