The Complexity of Cooperation: Agent-Based Models of Competition and Collaboration - Princeton Studies in Complexity

by Robert Axelrod
$16.90
The Complexity of Cooperation: Agent-Based Models of Competition and Collaboration - Princeton Studies in Complexity
The Complexity of Cooperation: Agent-Based Models of Competition and Collaboration - Princeton Studies in Complexity

Game theory meets social science in complexity.

If you're interested in understanding how intricate social behaviors and cooperation emerge, "The Complexity of Cooperation" might just deepen your appreciation for the nuances involved. Axelrod's accessible writing makes sophisticated concepts like game theory and agent-based modeling understandable. It's like putting on a new pair of glasses that clarify why individuals and societies interact the way they do, guided by invisible rules and patterns you'll soon begin to notice everywhere.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
