This course is an introduction to game theory and strategic thinking. Ideas such as dominance, backward induction, Nash equilibrium, evolutionary stability, commitment, credibility, asymmetric information, adverse selection, and signaling are discussed and applied to games played in class and to examples drawn from economics, politics, the movies, and elsewhere.

Professor Diamond continues her discussion of the nervous system with a diagram of a cross section of a developing spinal cord in which she highlights the ependyma, the mantle layer, the neuronal soma, and the marginal layer. She compares the developing cord to an adult cord and discusses the ventricles, the posterior and anterior horn, and the lateral horn in the thoracic cord. After relating these to the sympathetic division of the...more

In this lecture, Professor Diamond wraps up her discussion of the nervous system and moves on to the urinary system, beginning with the kidney. She concludes her discussion of the nervous system by describing the cochlea and diagramming its structure, and she indicates how cilia (hair cells) respond to and transmit information about vibrations in the fluid inside the cochlea. Professor Diamond then diagrams the constituents of the...more

Banks, which were first created in primitive form by goldsmiths hundreds of years ago, have evolved into central economic institutions that manage the allocation of resources, channel information about productive activities, and offer the public convenient investment vehicles. Although there are several types of banking institutions, including credit unions and Saving and Loan Associations, commercial banks are the largest and most...more

We first discuss Zermelo's theorem: that games like tic-tac-toe or chess have a solution. That is, either there is a way for player 1 to force a win, or there is a way for player 1 to force a tie, or there is a way for player 2 to force a win. The proof is by induction. Then we formally define and informally discuss both perfect information and strategies in such games. This allows us to find Nash equilibria in sequential games. But we...more

Estrin talks about the personal connectivity cycle. The cycle of connecting people is the notion of people being able to connect to each other and connect to information anywhere. This means true mobility and ubiquitous, high bandwidth connectivity, she says. The enablers of this cycle are economic and behavioral. From an IT demand perspective, she explains, the real win is in the consumer devices and services and not in the IT...more
