AMS Special Session on The Mathematics of Decisions, Elections, and Games
-
Friday January 5, 2024, 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
AMS Special Session on The Mathematics of Decisions, Elections, and Games, I
Decision theory, voting theory, and game theory are three intertwined areas in the mathematical social sciences that involve making optimal decisions in different contexts. Decision theory consists of making optimal decisions under uncertainty. Elections are instances in which the decisions of more than one person are combined to arrive at a collective choice. In game theory, players make decisions that affect other players' outcomes, as well as the player's own outcome.
