Gain knowledge of computational mechanism of 3 Game Theoretic concepts
Learn how to use solution templates and interpret the results
Showcase this hands-on experience in an interview
In this 2-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to use 2 Game-theoretic decision rules: Maximin strategy, Minimax strategy, and the solution concept, Nash Equilibrium. You will be familiarized with key terminologies in Game Theory and learn the underlying computation mechanism of each method to solve problems. Also, you will be solving higher order payoff matrices using custom spreadsheet based solution template (one for each method) and learn to interpret the results. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
Introductory knowledge of Game Theory and familiarity with spreadsheets is preferable. Learners must have an existing Google Account
