Game is a mathematical model of any decision situation, the result of which depends on the decision of at least two different individuals. Since such situations can be found in almost all fields related to our lives, the domain of applications of game theory is exceptionally broad and rich. It covers economics, industry, political and social sciences, transportation, warfare, biology, ethics and many other branches. Game theory not only represents an outstanding opportunity to persuade a wide audience of the importance, usefulness and even attractiveness of mathematics, it also leads mathematicians and technicians to such fields as ethology, evolutionary biology, social sciences, etc., that would otherwise remain marginal for many of them. The aim of the course is to provide the survey of game theory and its fascinating applications.
