Description: A subfield of mathematics and economics, the theory of games simulates situations in which individuals compete and cooperate with each other to hypothesize a conclusion. The contributions collected here are "classics" from the groundbreaking era of research launched in the late 1940s. These 18 essays constitute the core of game theory as it exists today. An invaluable tool for researchers and students of the sciences.
Review Quotes: "This volume assembles in one sourcebook the basic contributions to the field [of game theory]. . ."-- "L'Enseignement Mathematique"
