Abstract(s)

The objective of this paper is to present the fundamentals of game theory and illustrate how the theory can be applied in education of Mathematics.Literature specific applications of game theory across all levels of instructor-led education. With a game theory model, we provide a mathematical description of a social situation in which two or more individuals or players interact. We strongly suggestthat traditional teaching techniques of mathematics should be complemented with games.
