    Avis de l'équipe

    No one is more qualified to provide a primer on game theory than one of its founders, Ken Binmore, Professor Emeritus of Economics at University College London, who concisely illustrates the theory’s practical use in everyday life, sheds light on its history, and touches on its key concepts, including but not limited to the Nash equilibrium and minimax.

    Jesse Einstein’s amiable, down-to-earth delivery of this sometimes challenging material makes this intellectually stimulating audiobook palatable to all audiences.

    Description

    Games are everywhere: Drivers maneuvering in heavy traffic are playing a driving game. Bargain hunters bidding on eBay are playing an auctioning game. The supermarket's price for corn flakes is decided by playing an economic game. This Very Short Introduction offers a succinct tour of the fascinating world of game theory, a groundbreaking field that analyzes how to play games in a rational way. Ken Binmore, a renowned game theorist, explains the theory in a way that is both entertaining and non-mathematical yet also deeply insightful, revealing how game theory can shed light on everything from social gatherings, to ethical decision-making, to successful card-playing strategies, to calculating the sex ratio among bees.

    With mini biographies of many fascinating, and occasionally eccentric, founders of the subject - including John Nash, subject of the movie A Beautiful Mind - this audiobook offers a concise overview of a cutting-edge field that has seen spectacular successes in evolutionary biology and economics, and is beginning to revolutionize other disciplines from psychology to political science.

    PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

    Great book, but doesn't work well as audiobook

    The Game theory is quite hard and abstract topic to get introduced into, but the author does it perfectly. The topic selection seems very reasonable and they are well covered. Also many popular doubts and real-life applications are mentioned and explained, which makes it easier to accommodate.
    However, due to the domain complexity, it's very hard to listen to it on the go. Unless you can really keep the printed materials in front of you and keep going back and forth through the recording you'll probably not learn much more than just the general ideas (which is a lot anyway).

    The production could be also a bit better if it provided a better explanation of what can be seen in the figures/diagrams. Just reading the text seems not enough for a fairly technical book.
