About the Course

Popularized by movies such as "A Beautiful Mind," game theory is the mathematical modeling of strategic interaction among rational (and irrational) agents. Beyond what we call `games' in common language, such as chess, poker, soccer, etc., it includes the modeling of conflict among nations, political campaigns, competition among firms, and trading behavior in markets such as the NYSE. How could you begin to model keyword auctions, and peer to peer file-sharing networks, without accounting for the incentives of the people using them? The course will provide the basics: representing games and strategies, the extensive form (which computer scientists call game trees), Bayesian games (modeling things like auctions), repeated and stochastic games, and more. We'll include a variety of examples including classic games and a few applications. You can find a full syllabus and description of the course here: http://web.stanford.edu/~jacksonm/GTOC-Syllabus.html There is also an advanced follow-up course to this one, for people already familiar with game theory: https://porcelainpromo.shop/learn/gametheory2/ You can find an introductory video here: http://web.stanford.edu/~jacksonm/Intro_Networks.mp4...

Love this course. Really interesting to learn. This subject was very problematic for me when I studied at the University and now I am pretty friendly with it thanks to the Professors of the course.

Excellent course for beginners. Problem sets are very creative. No more further resources needed. I found this course specially useful if the purpose is to apply Game Theory in other disciplines.

Perfect course for beginners. Everything is interesting, quizzes helps to understand more on practice. Very fast reply from mentors on forums.

Personally, I disappointed with subtitles - they looks like machine translation that nobody checked. Also, on iOS app quizzes has bad formatting (when you passed quiz and review answers, there many places with black lines, missed text boxes, etc.). Presence of so called "corrections" in video could be minimized, because it confusions to read the correction and listen to absolutely another text.

Also, I would be really appreciate if there's more appropriate examples. Sometimes there were questions in quizzes that wasn't highlighted in the course.

All in all, I found this course really helpful for me. I strongly recommend it for those who want to dive into Game Theory!
