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), B...

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.

little hard with me

I have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, which I earned in 1992. I enrolled in this course to review some concepts and enjoy the challenge of remembering and learning again. However, I found the teaching methods to be extremely poor, with almost no supporting materials. The classes feel like they were recorded before 1992! After repeatedly turning to ChatGPT and Bard for examples, I finally gave up on the course. From the responses I’ve seen here, I’m clearly not the only one with this feedback. Perhaps it’s time to remove this course from the catalog and consider creating a new, updated version on the same topic.

The course ir really good (I am in week two). The problem is the locked asignemnts (i have to wait until June 28 to complete this week). I find it really frustrating trying to use my extra free time to move on the course and get blocked by locked assignements. I had other courses where you could move at the speed that was more comfortable for you. (I also don´t like the fact that the course has specific start dates). This makes the course unengaging and hard to follow.

He hecho cursos en Edx de MIT y Harvard y eran divertidos, prácticos y muy bien explicados, siento que aprendí. Este curso, los profesores explican todo de manera abstracta, la calidad del video es mala, no hay ejemplos concretos. No hay tareas cortas para fijar conocimiento luego de cada 5 videos. Es muy aburrido como hablan, les falta dinamismo. No volvería a hacer un curso en coursera

If you are going to present a course you should probably give the student the information that you will test them on. If prerequisites are required list them. There was not a single mention of what the symbols in their formulas represented or how to interpret them. At age 52 I failed my first test. Thanks!

Another approach but mathematical demonstration is probably possible.

Coursera offer technologies to avoid classroom demos on whiteboard.
