The mathematical study of games is an intriguing endeavor with implications and applications that reach far beyond tictactoe, chess, and poker to economics, business, and even biology and politics. Most texts on the subject, however, are written at the graduate level for those with strong mathematics, economics, or business backgrounds.In a clear and refreshing departure from this trend, Introducing Game Theory and its Applications presents an easytoread introduction to the basic ideas and techniques of game theory. After a brief introduction, the author begins with a chapter devoted to combinatorial gamesa topic neglected or treated minimally in most other texts. The focus then shifts to twoperson zerosum games and their solution. Here the author presents the simplex method, based on linear programming, for solving these games and develops within his presentation the required background in linear programming. The final chapter presents some of the fundamental ideas and tools of nonzerosum games and games with more than two players, including an introduction to cooperative game theory.This book will not only satisfy the curiosity of those whose interest in the subject was piqued by the 1994 Nobel Prize awarded to Harsanyi, Nash, and Selten. It also prepares its readers for more advanced study of game theory's applications in economics, business, and the physical, biological, and social sciences.
