Please respond to the following topic. Your posts should be about a paragraph. Your responses should be posted on this blog. The due date for the post will be the end of October, which is October 31st. However, I highly recommend that you finish your post by October 20th, so other students will have sufficient … More CLUB TOPIC #2: DAILY USES OF ALGORITHM

In this post, I will be writing about the history of game theory. When asked about a significant figure in establishing the concept of game theory, I would say the name John con Neumann without a doubt. John von Neumann, an Hungarian African mathematician, established zero sum game, a type of “games” in game theory, … More History of Game Theory

The coordination game is perhaps the most popular application of Nash equilibrium. Many algorithms were created to perfect the application of determining which combination shows the highest payoff and which option will each player choose in the face of any given situation. It involves two players who are given the option to choose any of … More Understanding the Game of Coordination

I haven’t really thought of what algorithm really is before, so this post led me to look up what algorithm is and tried to understand it as easy as possible. I think people in their daily lives use algorithm without naming it. What I mean is that the ‘process’ of solving a problem itself is … More Response to club topic#1

The concept of Nash equilibrium is commonly discussed alongside game theory. It is the concept in which all players are not cooperating with one another but each is able to come up with the best possible decision. How? They do this by understanding and knowing the decisions of the rest of the players. The only … More The Concept of Nash Equilibrium

Algorithms provide several solutions to gain more insight to the workings of Prisoner’s Dilemma and the most optimal strategy for the players involved. We’ve previously tackled the defection strategy and the deterministic strategy as two of the optimal solutions in looking at the iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma. This time around, let’s talk about the stochastic iterated … More Stochastic Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma

According to a dictionary, Algorithm is a set of rules for solving a problem in a finite number of steps, as for finding the greatest common divisor. The word itself sounds very professional and vague to be adjusted in our daily lives. For me, learning computer programming was the first time that I perceive the … More Response to Club Topic #1

In this post, I will be writing about game theory. Before anything, I would like to define game theory. For those who haven’t heard about game theory before, I would first like to set the record straight by saying that no, game theory doesn’t have anything to do with online games. Games, in the context … More What is Game Theory?

We’ve previously understood how the prisoner’s dilemma works. Given the payoffs and the choices each of the two prisoners has, each of them will most likely work against each other as opposed to cooperating. The reason lies in the fact that humans are by nature selfish and will work towards one’s own goals. But what … More Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma

Please respond to the following topic. Your posts should be about a paragraph. Your responses should be posted on this blog. The due date for the post will be next Friday, which is September 18th. After all the posts have been uploaded (after the 18th), I highly recommend that you look at the other members’ … More CLUB TOPIC #1: WHAT IS ALGORITHM?
