5.0 out of 5 stars
very good book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Strategy: An Introduction to Game Theory (Hardcover)
Joel Watson has done a terrific job introducing game theory. Beware- game theory is not for the light hearted, this book does contain some very dense mathematical proofs etc. The hardest part of the book is understanding the mathematical proofs for the main ideas of game theory. Once the mathematical foundation has been layed down it is very easy to follow the main concepts such as nash equilibrium, bargaining solutions, etc. Watson writes in a very relaxed and informal fashion, which is very refreshing. If your professor requires this book for class you should not worry, this is one of the best books on the market.

It is a good book for people who just start learning game theory. some notation could be better to understand the material but overall it was a very good starting point for me.

Really book for game theory and contract theory. The author does a really good job of explaining the theory with examples that are easy to understand.
