CS244 Game Theory with Computer Science ApplicationsInstructor: Prof. Zhenzhe Zheng, zhengzhenzhe@sjtu.edu.cn Office Hours: 3:00-4:00 Tue, 3-509 SEIEE. Website: https:zhengzhenzhe220.github.io/cs244index.html Course Meeting Times: 10:00-11:40 Monday (Weeks 1-16), 8:00-9:40 Thursday (Weeks 9-16) in Room 311 Middle Hall (中院 311). Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of optimization, probability and linear systems or consent of instructor. Credit: 3 DescriptionThis course is an introduction to the fundamentals of game theory and mechanism design. Motivations and applications are drawn from computer science, such as wireline and wireless communication networks, multi-agent systems, machine learning models, online platform markets and computational advertising. The course emphasizes theoretical foundations, mathematical tools and modeling in different environments. Intended AudienceThe course is geared towards computer science, engineering, or operations research students who need to use game theory in their research. The course is also aimed at covering recent advances and open research topics in game theory and the applications from computer science. Grading
