Math 10120

This course is about chance and strategy. We explore how the everyday concepts of relative frequency, expectation and strategy can be translated into a mathematical theory. By extracting the general principles behind our logical intuition and developing it with some simple tools of mathematics, we develop the theory of probability and game theory. The results can then be applied to solve problems or analyse situations where we encounter these concepts in many different contexts.
