The Game's Afoot! Game Theory in Myth and Paradox

Mehlmann eases readers unfamiliar with game theory into it through examples and applications from literature and mythology, and demonstrates to mathematics students who have studied it how it can function outside its usual realms of economics, social sciences, and biology. The original Wer gewinnt das Spiel? Spieltherorie in Fabeln und Paradoxa was published by Friedr Viewng & Sohn in 1997. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
