Learning outcomes |
The aim of the course is to present some applications of mathematics that use th game theory in biology.
Game theory is one of the essential methodologies used in evolutionary biology, economics, and political sciences. Students will learn this methodology and some of its biological applications. they will be able to formulate models using the game theory, analyse these models, and interpret the results. |
Prerequisites |
Basics of linear algebra, ordinary differential equations.
