Equilibrium problems in game theory are very useful to the understanding of
economics and many other technical fields. In this talk, we will get an
introduction to some computational techniques using large scale computing
and Mathematica to help us find solutions to equilibrium problems.
Dr. John F. Nash is a Senior Research Mathematician at Princeton
University. Nash received the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics for
his work in equilibrium problems.
At 4:30pm in room 101 of Sherrerd Hall, Professor Yoo will speak on "The Transformation of the Internet". The abstract is below. (original posting)
Abstract:
Professor Yoo argues that the vision of the Internet as it existed in the late 1990s continues to serve as the starting point for current debates over communications policy. In this lecture, he will analyze how changes in the Internet should reframe current debates over Internet policy.
