AMS Special Session on Mathematic of Decisions, Elections, and Games
-
Friday January 10, 2025, 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
AMS Special Session on Mathematic of Decisions, Elections, and Games, I
Decision theory, voting theory, and game theory all involve making optimal decision in different contexts. In decision theory, individuals must select actions under uncertainty. In voting theory, individual decisions are combined to make a collective choice. And in game theory, players make decisions that affect each players' outcomes. This session will include talks in all three areas, providing opportunities to appreciate their shared mathematical tools and approaches.
