→One thing that we find very useful is
to conduct them as Google hang outs, where
you have real time interactive video
discussion. When sometimes perhaps
technology doesn't allow it, you can
resort to other means, you can use email
and whatever is appropriate for the
situation.

→One particular thing that we
strongly encourage to do is to form study
groups. There is a special forum for that
and we encourage you to use that forum to
create the study group. The way you
actually conduct the study group is up to
you.

→We'll also see some of the interaction
that took place in the discussion forums,
and I'll speak about those shortly and
it'll be an opportunity to refer to what
happened there. The material you have
available will consist of these video
lectures. The lectures refer to some
slides and we will make these slides also
available for you to download. And finally
there is a booklet that covers really all
of the material and a little more than
we're covering this course.

→Finally,
every week we will have what we call a
screen shy-, screens, Finally every week
we will have a screen size chat as we call
it, this is an opportunity for mat and me
to look back at what happened during the
week. We hope that our lecture will be
clear, the material will be bug-free, but
it's possible that maybe we won't be as
clear or as error-free as we'd like to be
and this will be an opportunity to correct
it.

→At the end of the
week we will have a weekly quiz consisting
of really another collection of similar
simple questions, just by way of review.
We also have what we call the game theory
lab, and this will be an opportunity for
you to actually play, interactively, some
of these games that we'll be describing,
to get a visceral feel for those. And,
after you've played those we'll be able to
equate their results and give you some
statistics about what transpired.

→And let me say a few words about
how the course would be structured. We
we'll have, several weeks and during the
course of the weeks we'll do the
following. Each week we will have lectures
that will be in the form of video's,
broken up into chunks, ranging in length
from. Maybe eight or so minutes to,
probably at most fifteen minutes and
inside the videos, we will often have some
quizzes, interactive quizzes embedded.
These are simple questions that are really
dear to making sure that you understand
the basic definitions.

→In
general, whenever you have independent
agents, multiple agents, that have
individual information and individual
motivations, major action between them is
the subject matter for game theory. The
material is mathematical. It's not
difficult mathematics but you need to know
what a matrix is, you need to remember
basic calculus and basic probability
theory. So this is what the course is
about.

→When we think about games, we often think
in terms of. Sports games soccer and what
have you, we also think about things like
chess, and, and poker, and we think also
about online games, and video games. These
certainly are included in the space of
games, of game theory. But we also, and
sometimes much more think about. "Serious
games". What causes countries to go to war
with one another? What, what is the
background for corporations entering into
commercial agreements? How do you decided
to bid in EBay auction. Even how animals
interact with one, with one another.

→Let's start by first saying a word about
the subject matter. What the class is
about and perhaps starting with what the
class is, not about or not only about.

→Hello. Welcome to the game theory on I-
class. My name is Johan Schoen. I am a
professor in computer science here at
Stanford University.And I'll be teaching
it jointly with my colleague, Matt
Jackson, from the Economic department.
