Short description:	Introduction to game theory. Zero-sum games, two-player co-op games, multiplayer games in the characteristic function form. Applications in social sciences, with particular emphasis on sociology and political science: social traps, conflict and cooperation, coalitions, voting games.
Full description:	Game theory, developed in the 1940s, is considered one of the most important achievements of the twentieth-century economy, but it has applications not only in this field: it is also used in political science, sociology, psychology, biology, philosophy and computer science. For example, in political science, game theory is central to the "formal theory of politics," in sociology, the theory of rational choice. In biology (but also in sociology) it is an important tool for understanding the course of evolutionary processes. The aim of the course is to familiarize participants with the basic concepts and constructions of game theory (especially those of the most interesting for a sociologist and political scientist), as well as to indicate their possible applications in social sciences - primarily sociology and political sciences. Apart from attending classes, participants will be expected to read books (on average no more than a dozen or so pages for each class), and to practice solving tasks (including computational tasks).
