I will post slides for each class at latest the day before the class. The compact versions are best for printing, the complete ones best for viewing on a screen.
- Class 1
-
Nash equilibrium (Sections 2.1–2.3 of "A Course in Game Theory").
- Class 2
-
Nash equilibrium continued (Section 2.4); introduction to mixed strategy Nash equilibrium (Section 3.1). [Section 2.5 will be omitted; I will return to the material in Section 2.6.]
- Class 3
-
Mixed strategy Nash equilibrium continued. [Read Section 3.2. Sections 3.3 and 3.4 will be omitted.] Introduction to Bayesian games (Section 2.6).
- Class 4
-
Bayesian games continued (Section 2.6); electronic mail game (Section 5.5); juries.
- Class 5
