"Game Theory: Understanding the Mathematics of Life" by Brian Clegg

Brian Clegg's book, Game Theory: Understanding the Mathematics of Life explores game theory concepts, using various games (from simple ones like tic-tac-toe to complex ones like Go) as examples. It explains the mathematics behind game theory, including concepts like minimax and Nash equilibrium. The author applies these concepts to real-world scenarios, such as auctions and the prisoner's dilemma, illustrating their practical implications. Clegg also discusses the limitations of game theory and the role of probability and utility in decision-making.
