Strategy

Highlights

Essential Topics without Excess

Strategy covers the basic concepts and insights of game theory and offers classic examples and applications in a concise format. Students and instructors alike will appreciate that the text can be worked through in a single semester.

Proper Mathematics without Complication

Without ever skimping on mathematical precision, Professor Watson presents every concept and application using the simplest, most straightforward model. This helps students to understand key ideas and allows them to avoid unnecessary mathematical formalism.

Integration of Contract

Contract has long been an important topic in game theory—and one especially popular with students—yet most textbooks have neglected it...until now! Strategy provides a serious treatment of contract with minimal departure from standard game theory coverage.

Clear and Lively Writing

Advanced texts in technical fields are rarely a pleasure to read, but Strategy is an exception. Professor Watson writes in an inviting style that is lively in spirit and relaxed in form.
