Uma introdução a teoria dos jogos : Uma abordagem para o ensino básico

Abstract

In this work, we present a game theory approach to basic education, game theory is the study of strategic situations of human interactions, it studies the conflict and cooperation of players, that is, the rational decisions that will improve the results of individuals in the different sectors, where the result of two individual actions or in rational groups depends mainly on the actions of the other individuals or groups, in other words, the possible decisions of the other players must always be taken into account when making a decision. It is reported in the literature that game theory was created to study topics such as elections, competitions between companies, judgments, trade balance, genetic evolution, but it is also a pure mathematical theory and has been studied in this way, without the need to relate it to problems behavioral or games per se. Authors such as James Waldegrave, Nicolas Bernoulli, Ernst Zermelo, Von Neumann and John Nash were pioneers in the study of the subject. In addition to the historical aspects, we present the elements that form a game, the main definitions, classifications and several examples commented for a better understanding of the theme.
