To accompany my video lectures on gametheory101.com, I have created a textbook for basic strategic and extensive form games. Since students needs vary depending on the class, I offer two versions of the textbook. The first consists of only the lessons on strategic form games. You can find it on Amazon here for $0.99. The second book has two additional chapters, one on extensive form games and one on advanced strategic form games. You can purchase it here for $3.99. Unless you only have a passing interest in game theory or are taking an extremely easy introductory class, I recommend you buy the bigger version.
Regardless, you read more details about them here, or download a free sample lesson here.
Note that they are only available for Amazon Kindle. However, if you do not have an Kindle reader, you can download a Kindle interface from Amazon for your PC, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry, or Android for free. The PC version is available here
I havenot got a Kindle. Is it possible to buy this book in another format. I have no intention of buying Kindle
Hi John,
The textbook is only available via the Kindle format. However, you can read the book without actually owning a Kindle device. Amazon has free apps for just about every kind of device. Go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=dig_arl_box?ie=UTF8&docId=1000493771 for more information.
You can also read ebooks from Amazon by going to https://read.amazon.com/ which is Amazon’s cloud reader.
Hope that helps.
William
Very nice work. Thank you so much for your efforts. I bought the $3.99 ($1 price increase) version. Still a bargain. What is nice is that once I bought it, Amazon has an app that let’s me download it again (for free) to my iPod Touch. (Or maybe I m reading it from the Cloud — hard to tell. Still convenient.) Perfect level for short seminar that I may give soon to retired folks as a supplement.
Oops! I moved the price up a dollar when I added the third chapter. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. And I’m glad you enjoyed the book.
