Review: Classic - This book is the classic text on Game Theory. Game Theory is about strategy and it applies to a variety of subject matters. Strategy is applied to business, investing, law enforcement, and life in general. Strategy is about examining the situation as given and determining how to maximize your gains. One of the toughest concepts to master is the fact that maximizing one's gains doesn't always mean that one must win or obtain the most. At times it means that one must determine which action to take that can prevent one's opponent from doing as well or better as himself. I have personally found that this book is valuable tool that can be used in the realm of artificial intelligence programming for games.
Review: I'm an engineer but still appreciated it. - The fact that I went as far as solving the problems was extra, but the author is diligent in this area. The theory is fascinating. You'll learn that things aren't always what they appear to be.

*by A***N on January 29, 2016*

This is the third game theory book I read (the first two are Game Theory for Applied Economists by Gibbons and Game Theory by Fudenberg & Tirole). This book is good in the sense that the author elaborates the history of game theory and introduces it with simple yet detailed examples. However, I am puzzled why the author jumps right to games of imperfect information after a merely basic introduction of static game. I prefer Fudenberg & Tirole because the book first touches upon games without uncertainty and fully discusses how players make decisions in static game and repeated games. After having built a solid foundation of games without uncertainty, the authors then introduced games with incomplete information. From my perspective this is a more normal way of studying game theory.
