This book strikes a wonderful balance between application and abstraction in game theory, something that most other game theory texts fail to do. Moreover, it does not concentrate on linear programming. Since Maple can solve linear and nonlinear problems rapidly and easily, this is the first book to use computer software (MapleTM and Mathematica) to do the kinds of linear programming involved in game theory. This eliminates the need for readers and students to spend time learning linear programming theory in order to tackle many more complex and engaging games. Although proofs are not the main emphasis of the book, some are included for significant findings.
