  • Mathematics 135: Game Theory

    4.00 Credits
    Bard College

    In the 20th century the theory of games gained prominence due to its application to the social sciences. Game theory is a mathematical approach to modeling situations of conflict, whether real or theoretical. Using algebra and some analytical geometry, students explore the mathematical foundations of game theory. At the same time, they encounter a wide range of applications of the theory of games. Topics include zero-sum games, nonzero-sum games, pure and mixed strategies, von Neumann's minimax theorem, Nash equilibria, and cooperative games. Prerequisite: Mathematics 110 or permission of the instructor.

  • Mathematics 235: Discrete Mathematics

    4.00 Credits
    Bard College

    As a complement to calculus, which models continuous phenomena, this course studies discrete processes and structures. Discrete mathematics provides the mathematical foundation for many areas of computation and can be applied to such diverse problems as designing an optimal phone-switching network and designing a computer circuit. Five core areas are covered: enumeration and recurrence relations; fundamentals of logic; sets, relations, and functions; recursion and induction; and basic graph theory. Other topics include elementary probability theory, generating functions, discrete optimization, modular arithmetic and finite groups, and Boolean algebra. Prerequisite: one semester of calculus or permission of the instructor.

  • Mathematics 275: Probability and Statistics

    4.00 Credits
    Bard College

    Economics Every day we make decisions based on numerical data in the face of uncertainty. We do so while reading the latest political polls, playing a card game, or analyzing a scientific experiment. Probabilistic models and statistical methods help us think through such decisions in a precise mathematical fashion. This course provides a calculus-based introduction to the techniques and applications of probability and statistics. Applications are selected from the natural and social sciences. Prerequisite: Mathematics 142 or the equivalent.
