Focusing on the concepts of modern game theory, this exposition is tailored for advanced undergraduates and prioritizes understanding over mathematical complexity. It explores strategic, extensive, and coalitional games, while also addressing repeated games, bargaining theory, and evolutionary equilibrium. The precise definitions of key terms enhance clarity, making it accessible for students seeking a deeper grasp of the theory's foundational ideas.

A Course in Game Theory presents the main ideas of game theory at a level suitable for graduate students and advanced undergraduates, emphasizing the theory's foundations and interpretations of its basic concepts. The authors provide precise definitions and full proofs of results, sacrificing generalities and limiting the scope of the material in order to do so. The text is organized in four parts: strategic games, extensive games with perfect information, extensive games with imperfect information, and coalitional games. It includes over 100 exercises.
