GAMES THEORY IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS 1.0 INTRODUCTION The field of game theory came into being with Émile Borel ’s researches in his 1938 book ‘Applications aux Jeux des Hazard’‚ and was followed by the 1944 book ‘Theory of Games and Economic Behaviour’ by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern. This theory was developed extensively in the 1950s by many scholars. Game theory was later explicitly applied to biology in the 1970s‚ although similar developments go back at least as far as the

Lecture Notes: Basic Electricity Fall 2011 This course module introduces the basic physical models by which we explain the flow of electricity. The Bohr model of an atom – a nucleus surrounded by shells of electrons traveling in discrete orbits – is presented. Electrical current is described as a flow of electrons. Ohm’s law – the relationship between voltage‚ current and electrical resistance – is introduced. Learning Objectives Understanding the basic principles of electricity is a foundational

Probability Theory and Game of Chance Jingjing Xu April 24‚ 2012 I. INTRODUCTION Probability theory is the mathematical foundation of statistics‚ and it can be applied to many areas requiring large data analysis. Curiously‚ that the study on probability theory has its root in parlor games and gambling. In 17th century‚ dice gambling was a very common entertainment among the upper class. An

2 devices that use static electricity to funtion 1. Van de Graaff generator When the motor is turned on‚ the lower roller (charger) begins turning the belt. The belt is made of rubber and the lower roller is covered in silicon tape‚ the lower roller begins to build a negative charge and the belt builds a positive charge. Silicon is more negative than rubber so the lower roller is receiving electrons from the belt when it goes over the roller. The positively charged atomic nuclei‚ try to

Electricity generation is the process of creating electricity from other forms of energy. The fundamental principles of electricity generation were discovered during the 1820s and early 1830s by the British scientist Michael Faraday. His basic method is still used today: electricity is generated by the movement of a loop of wire‚ or disc of copper between the poles of a magnet.[1] For electric utilities‚ it is the first process in the delivery of electricity to consumers. The other processes

Aumann‚ 1985: Brie y put‚ game and economic theory are concerned with the interactive behavior of Homo rationalis | rational man. . . [An] important function of game theory is the classi cation of interactive decision situations. Roger B.
