Game Theory: An open-access textbook with solved exercises
- trentmb 11y agoAnyone else download it with the intention to work through it but never actually do it?
- reviseddamage 11y agolet you know in a few months.
- sawwit 11y agoWell, there are at least 40, if not 500 years ahead of me.
- slmyers 11y agoThat's like every text I own... FeelsBadMan
- JohnHammersley 11y agoMy whole PDF library is exactly this. As a sidenote, isn't this pretty much why the PDF remains so popular as a format, at least in science - you get a typeset copy with no worry you'll ever lose access or not be able to read it... you just need that spare hour or two... :)
- BenderV 11y agoYesterday, this occurred to me. I quickly forget which pdf I have downloaded. I was searching for an application who is basically a to do list for pdf (a "pocket" for pdf). Does anyone have an application like that?
- gsteinb88 11y agoMendeley or Zotero's tagging might work well for this. Both are more commonly used for organizing bibliographies in science, but should work here as well.
- mindcrime 11y agoThat actually sounds like a really good idea. Right now the only thing I for this is keeping a folder on my desktop titled "Reading Queue", and I drop symlinks in there to docs that I want to read sooner than later.
- rch 11y agoI store PDFs in Google Drive by quarter (e.g. ~/content/2015Q4/), and generally try to add a few relevant terms in the title. The only thing that bothers me is that I have to go through and specifically mark the files as available offline.
- farhanhubble 11y agoI upload to slack or evernote under different categories.
- nolite 11y agoAfter reading through the first section and exercises, and having zero interest in game theory, I must say this is really well done. All mathematical subjects should aim towards teaching clearly step by step like this, with a ton of well formed and worked out excercoses, instead of just drowning the reading in notation.

- hiepph 11y agoWow, this would make my CS learning goes easier.
- strategy 11y agoI love the use of color in this textbook to make payoffs for each player identifiable. I am looking forward to reading this in detail.
- ultimatejman 11y agoNice find
- lovelearning 11y agoThat's a beautifully typeset book. Any suggestions on what authoring tool(s) to use to write a book like this that has lots of matrices, diagrams, and notation?
- glifchits 11y agoLaTeX
- krick 11y agoUh, I don't know. This font is, well, artsy, but I find it honestly hard to read. It's just too unusual. I'm not a fan of some other decorations here as well (like these blurry raster pencils, for instance). As for your question, usual answer would be LaTeX + (maybe) some specific plugins (like TikZ for diagrams, or tufte-latex for specific layout, or whatever), but due to some irregularities here I suspect that this particular book is actually hand-made in something like Microsoft Office. I well might be wrong, I'm not sure, it just seems like that.
- lovelearning 11y agoThank you for those TikZ and tufte-latex tips! I should investigate LaTeX in depth.
- lightonphiri 11y agoIt certainly does look like it was made by Microsoft Office, however, pdfinfo says Producer: PDF Annotator 5.0.0.511 [Debenu Quick PDF Library 11.15 (www.debenu.com)]
