--Online Course Description: Use complex mathematical concepts to analyze situations in which two or more parties are competing to determine the best course of action for each party, predict the outcome, then apply these concepts to circumstances across all disciplines. Investigate the foundations of Game Theory, or Formal Decision Theory, and its use as a tool to help people conceptualize and navigate complex decision-making processes in ways that produce optimum benefit. Explore its applications in economics, where it is used to inform such decisions as mergers, negotiations, marketing strategies, pricing strategies, and contract formation, as well as its applications in strategic conflict and warfare; evolutionary systems; and Psychology and Sociology.
--Joy's Description: Game Theory, taught by Ben Perryman and Matthew Schell, is a class that teaches students concepts and theories on strategies that apply to games as well as real life. Cole Chadwick, a student in the class describes it as a class about predicting the outcomes of certain scenarios and the winner of a game finding the best strategy to play the game. It is not only board games that it's used in; it's also used in a lot of economics.
"It's an interesting class. It's a lot of math and a lot of strategy. My favorite part is the different types of games a lot of situational games a lot of charts and diagrams to figure out a lot of different strategies that i didn't know about before," another student, Cheyanne Hampton said.
