INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

under situations of conflict and competition. The under situations of conflict and competition. The
approach of game theory is to seek to approach of game theory is to seek to

What is Game Theory?What is Game Theory?
Game theory is a type of decision theory Game theory is a type of decision theory
which is based on reasoning in which the which is based on reasoning in which the
choice of action is determined after choice of action is determined after
considering the possible alternatives considering the possible alternatives
available to the opponents playing the available to the opponents playing the
same game. The aim is to choose the best same game. The aim is to choose the best
course of action, because every player course of action, because every player
has got an alternative course of actionhas got an alternative course of action
