Williams takes a nontechnical, behavioral approach that is accessible to students with minimal math skills.Incorporating a wide range of experiments with diverse designs, Introduction to Game Theory is also enhanced by numerous pedagogical features:* Extensive problem sets, in-class experiments, and sample exams* Numerical examples for all of the exercises* Key terms and concepts for behavioral game theory--which differ from those for standard game theory--and a glossary* Supplemental lecture material and Internet resources--online games, videos, lectures, problems sets, exams, and experiments that students can participate in
