Game Theory

Time to get your game on! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby discuss the basics of game theory, a field of mathematics that formulates strategies for complex situations. You’ll learn about the basic ingredients of any game, including players, rules, consequences, and payoffs. You’ll see how game theorists use a matrix to record their results. You’ll also find out the difference between the two basic categories of games: cooperative and non-cooperative. And if you think game theory doesn’t have any connection to the real world, Tim and Moby will show you how you’re already a game theorist...you just don’t know it yet!
