Game Theory

The World of Game Theory

Game theory studies strategic decision-making where the outcome depends on the choices of multiple players. It helps us analyze competition, cooperation, and negotiation.

Core Concepts

Players choose strategies to maximize their own benefits. The Nash Equilibrium is a situation where no player can benefit by changing their own strategy if others keep theirs unchanged.

Real-Life Scenarios

Game theory is used in economics, politics, auctions, and even sports to predict outcomes and design better systems.

Examples

  • Two companies deciding whether to lower prices or keep them the same, knowing their rival might react.

  • Negotiating a salary, where each side considers what the other might do.

In a Nutshell

Game theory analyzes how people make choices when others are also making choices.
