Ask HN: Recommend book on Game Theory?
I was watching a documentary that prompted me to read John Nash's thesis, "Non-Coperative Games"[0]
I searched the web for applications of game theory in Architecture (my formal training) & found some research that interested me[1]
My background is mostly in design, is there a "go-to" book that you recommend which may be easier going on people
with a less solid Math background like me?
