Course description

In this Capstone Mathematics course; the students will learn all about the branch of applied economics and mathematics known as Game Theory. Game Theory is concerned with understanding the strategies that can be used to optimize strategies in competitive or cooperative arenas. The students will learn about the theory behind game strategies; the mathematics that enables players to win games; and the wide-ranging applications of this theoretical pursuit to the real world. Along the way; the students will play many games and become acquainted with some of the finest economic and mathematical thinkers of the modern age.The branch of mathematics concerned with the analysis of strategies for dealing with competitive situations where the outcome of a participant's choice of action depends critically on the actions of other participants. Game theory has been applied to contexts in war; business; and biology.

Students are required to use different principles of calculus (integrals; probability; derivatives; optimization; plotting; exponents and logarithms) to find solutions to then apply them to strategies in different games. Students can only enroll in Capstone Game Theory once they have successfully completed and passed AP Calculus AB as this course is completely grounded in advanced calculus principles. Students are offered capstone courses their senior year once they have completed all math courses available to them in our curriculum. Capstone Game Theory is the highest level of math offered on our campus.
