O książce

This 1st Edition Essentials text offers an Excel focused approach to using statistics in business. All statistical concepts are illustrated with applied examples immediately upon introduction. Modern computing tools and applications are introduced, and the text maintains a strong focus on presenting statistical concepts as applied in business—as opposed to providing programming methods used to find a mathematical solution. Interpretation of results is heavily emphasized, enabling students to take full advantage of Excel to develop and drive problem-solving skills.

O książce

Designed for the serious reader, this book teaches strategy through the use of game theory. The focus is on setting up and solving games, especially those that arise in economics and business. Develops modeling skills as well as the ability to implement a certain format, the form of the game, by using proven applications and examples of setups. Contains an analogous framework of necessary condition (equilibrium) and sufficient conditions such as undominated strategies, symmetry and subgame perfection to motivate solutions. Features a variety of examples ranging from the Bible to Wall Street.

O książce

Robert Aumann's groundbreaking career in game theory has spanned over 35 years. These two volumes provide convenient access to all of his major research—from his doctoral dissertation in 1956 to papers as recent as January 1995. Threaded through all of Aumann's work (symbolized in his thesis on knots) is the study of relationships between different ideas, between different phenomena, and between ideas and phenomena. "When you look closely at one scientific idea," writes Aumann, "you find it hitched to all others. It is these hitches that I have tried to study."

The papers are organized in several categories: general, knot theory, decision theory (utility and subjective probability), strategic games, coalitional games, and mathematical methods. Aumann has written an introduction to each of these groups that briefly describes the content and background of each paper, including the motivation and the research process, and relates it to other work in the collection and to work by others. There is also a citation index that allows readers to trace the considerable body of literature which cites Aumann's own work.
