essentials of game theory home table of contents instructional resources errata ebook download essentials of game theory a concise multidisciplinary introduction kevin leyton brown university of british columbia yoav shoham stanford university springer nature 2008 game theory is the mathematical study of interaction among independent self interested agents its imprint has become quite broad and beside in economics its traditional application area is strongly felt today in disciplines as diverse as computer science political science biology psychology linguistics sociology and electrical engineering among many others this book provides a concise and accessible introduction to the field covering the common basis that any member of this multidisciplinary audience is likely to require it minimizes notation without sacrificing rigor and ruthlessly focuses on essentials the origin of essentials of game theory is our much longer book multiagent systems algorithmic game theoretic and logical foundations which covers diverse theories relevant to the broad area of multiagent systems within artificial intelligence and other areas of computer science multiagent systems goes into much more detail about game theory than essentials e g it includes proofs and additional technical details as well as broaching new topics such as computation of solution concepts communication learning and compact representation of games multiagent systems also extends beyond game theory to cover distributed problem solving social choice mechanism design auction theory and logics of knowledge and belief this introduction is just what a growing multidisciplinary audience needs it is concise authoritative up to date and clear on the important conceptual issues robert stalnaker mit linguistics and philosophy i wish i d had a comprehensive clear and rigorous introduction to the essentials of game theory in under one hundred pages when i was starting out david parkes harvard university computer science beside being concise and rigorous essentials of game theory is also quite comprehensive it includes the formulations used in most applications in engineering and the social sciences and illustrates the concepts with relevant examples robert wilson stanford university graduate school of business best short introduction to game theory i have seen i wish it was available when i started being interested in the field silvio micali mit computer science although written by computer scientists this book serves as a sophisticated introduction to the main concepts and results of game theory from which other scientists including social scientists can greatly benefit in eighty pages essentials of game theory formally defines key concepts illustrated with apt examples in both cooperative and noncooperative game theory steven brams new york university political science this book will appeal to readers who do not necessarily hail from economics and who want a quick grasp of the fascinating field of game theory the main categories of games are introduced in a lucid way and the relevant concepts are clearly defined with the underlying intuitions always provided krzysztof apt university of amsterdam institute for logic language and computation to a large extent modern behavioral ecology and behavioral economics are studied in the framework of game theory students and faculty alike will find this concise rigorous and clear introduction to the main ideas in game theory immensely valuable marcus feldman stanford university biology this unique book is today the best short technical introduction to game theory accessible to a broad audience it will prove invaluable in artificial intelligence more generally in computer science and indeed beyond moshe tennenholtz technion industrial engineering and management excerpted from a much anticipated cross disciplinary book on multiagent systems this terse incisive and transparent book is the ideal introduction to the key concepts and methods of game theory for researchers in several fields including artificial intelligence networking and algorithms vijay vazirani georgia institute of technology computer science the authors admirably achieve their aim of providing a scientist or engineer with the essentials of game theory in a text that is rigorous readable and concise frank kelly university of cambridge statistical laboratory last updated may 9 2026
