Abstract

The article discusses the concept of game theory, a mathematical technique for the analysis of conflict. Game theory is also known as the science of conflict. Its can be derived from the powerful mathematical apparatus that it can bring to bear on the strategic analysis of certain conflict situations. The theory is now applied in a different type of conflict technically called a game. It is only concerned with the logical aspect of strategy. The application of the theory to various games is presented.
