Fascination Science public lecture Tuesday (30 October) - Games everywhere!
Our next lecture in the Fascination Science series will go ahead on Tuesday 30th October 7pm-8.30pm at Massey University's Auckland campus in Albany in the Sir Neil Waters lecture theatre.
Games everywhere!
Game theory is the science of strategic decision-making. Having its roots in the analysis of parlour games like poker, it developed in the 1940's into a full-fetched mathematical framework that proved extremely prolific in a number of scientific disciplines. Today, game theory is applied to everything from political problems, economics and human behaviour to the evolution of animals and the biochemistry of microbes. Even popular culture is full of references to game theory - just think of game shows like Golden Balls, or what The Joker does with the two ferries in The Dark Knight.
In this lecture, Prof. Thomas Pfeiffer will introduce you to this fascinating research field. Let the games begin!
