Mathematical Methods and Theory in Games, Programming, and Economics: Matrix Games, Programming, and Mathematical Economics/The Theory of Infinite Games (Dover Phoenix Editions) - Hardcover

In this single-volume edition of a noted two-volume text, the author synthesizes the concepts of game theory, programming theory, and the concepts and techniques of mathematical economics into a single systematic theory. The first part concerns the theory of matrix games; the second, linear and nonlinear programming and mathematical economics. In both parts, key mathematical concepts are clarified and their applicability to similar problems suggested by using the principles of game theory and programming to solve simplified problems based on economic models, business decisions, and military tactics. Solutions to most of the problems and hints for solving others are given at the end of each part. 1959 edition.
