Big Ideas
- Conflicts from stories or real life can be analyzed mathematically using game models.
- Different mathematical approaches (game theory and TOM) can predict different outcomes when modeling and analyzing conflicts.
Essential Questions
- How can we represent real-life or literary conflicts as mathematical games?
- What are the similarities and differences between game theory and the theory of moves (TOM)?
- How do game theory and TOM predict outcomes differently for the same modeled conflict?
- Why is it important to analyze conflicts using more than one mathematical approach?
- In what ways do the predictions from game theory and TOM help us understand real-world decision making?
