Game Theory Program
项目简介
Game theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the analysis of strategic decision-making. It is used to study the behavior of individuals, groups, and organizations in situations where the outcome of one person's decision depends on the decisions of others.
In game theory, a "game" is a situation where two or more players must make decisions that will affect each other's outcomes. Each player has a set of possible choices, and the outcome of the game depends on the choices made by all the players.
Eureka Alumni from this program have received admission offers to Princeton University, Duke University, University of Chicago, Carnegie Mellon University, and other top US universities. Alumni from this program have gone off to pursue studies in Computer Science, Economics, Math, and other majors.

研究主题案例
Game Theory Model in Urban Development and Extension to Tragedy of Commons
Game theoretical models can be applied in many areas. City sustainability and strategy for street and community development is an important problem that people should care about because of the overdeveloping trend in many places worldwide. When considering the strategy that stakeholders are likely to make, game theoretical models can be introduced. Along with the analysis, the Prisoner's Dilemma model can explore the way decision-makers choose their strategy. The overdevelopment problem caused a classical phenomenon proposed by Hardin, the tragedy of the commons. The author of this thesis conducted this study in Eureka's Game Theory program.
