Game Theory, part 1

From xkcd: http://xkcd.com/832/

Hello, everyone! We’re starting out the new year with a look at the theory of games. How do we understand them? How do we characterize the best strategy? This month we’ll focus on determined games; games without any chance or randomness. We’ll talk about a few big strategies for games that you might have heard of and then have you work out a decision tree for a few games yourself.

The next meeting will be on Saturday, October 1st at 2pm in the story time room at the Fayetteville Public Library.
