About This Activity
This course is about teaching our kids the trade offs and strategy that comes about from choices. Experience the scientific, psychological, and sociological powerhouse that is game theory. Game theory is all about finding solutions to problems with multiple players. Sometimes we'll see the best bet is to work together, and sometimes we'll find the best choice for ourselves by looking at what options our opponents have. This beautiful mathematics not only shows you how to make choices that are impactful, but also how to understand others around you and what they're trying to accomplish. Students in this exciting class will be engaging in all kinds of exciting problem solving and dilemmas. From Nash Equilibria to the prisoner's dilemma, we're going to be working on a host of problems to not only read our opponents, but our own minds as well! Beyond the realm of mathematics, this course is a playground for enthusiasts of psychology, sociology, politics, and economics, where the emphasis is on deep analysis rather than heavy math.
