Objective This elective course offered to industrial engineering students introduces them to solution techniques for game theory problems. As a result, students will gain fundamental knowledge and skills for solving game theory problems they may encounter in both their professional careers and academic pursuits. In this context, the objectives of this course can be outlined as follows:

To provide students with:
• Insights into game theory problems,
• General information about the scope and complexities of game theory problems,
• Basic knowledge about solution techniques for game theory problems,
• The ability to apply complex game theory solution techniques and manipulation processes.
