Cognitive Science 0288 - Programming Game Theory

In this course we will read primary literature on mathematical models of conflict and cooperation (game theory), and we will write computer programs to replicate reported results and explore related hypotheses. We will also discuss applications of game theory in many areas, possibly including economics, politics, war and peace, responses to climate change, and evolutionary biology. Prerequisite: Strong computer programming skills.

Quantitative Skills Independent Work In this course, students are expected to spend at least six to eight hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time. This time includes reading, writing, research.
