Game theory is an obscure area of the economic sciences. In 1995, the Nobel Prize was conferred upon John Nash, John Harsanyi and Reinhart Selton for their contribution of game theory to economics, which generated a great deal of interest in other disciplines, including the physical and material sciences. However, the beauty of game theory is its application to real world problems. This book commemorates the marriage of the theory and practice, not in heaven, but in the real world.
