Game Theory

Game Theory certification is a short 17 hours course that is offered in conjunction with Stanford University, The University of British Columbia, and the certificate is provided by Coursera. This course has been made by keeping in mind movies like "A Beautiful Mind,” which helps learners identify that game theory is nothing but a mathematics model of strategic interaction between agents like rational and irrational. The course enlightens us that common games like chess, poker, or soccer are more than just games as these involve conflict modelling among political campaigns, competition among firms trading behaviour in New York Stock Exchange, and more.

The game Theory certification syllabus will include fundamentals of topics like representation of games and strategies, Bayesian games, the game trees, repeated and stochastic games, and many more. The course will also impart learning about some classic games and their applications to the participants.

This is a beginner-level course of game theory and can be completed in a time frame of 17 hours. Also, 18% of the students who have completed the course, and earned a certificate have been benefited tangibly in their careers.
