The theory of games has initiated a new mathematical approach to behavioral science based on conceptualizations entirely absent in “classical” applied mathematics. In the wake of the first formulation of the theory came a proliferation of new avenues of attack on age‐old problems involving situations of interest conflict, cooperation, bargaining, and power play. The liveliness of the subject is attested by the vigor of controversy about its very foundations.
