Outline of lecture
Mathematical modeling methods and mathematical analysis methods for social systems are presented through lectures and exercises. This lecture gives definitions, examples and analysis methods of games in normal form, games in extensive form, option forms, graph models, simple games, games in characteristic function form, and so on, as models for analyzing decision making situations. Methods of coalition formation analysis and relation analysis are also introduced.
Students are required to prepare and submit three reports: a report on the background and the detail of a real-world decision making situation (Background Report), that on the model of the situation (Model Report) and that on the analysis of the situation (Analysis Report). Also, they are required to prepare and make a presentation based on these reports in the end of the term.
Purpose of lecture
This course aims to cultivate the students窶 abilities to: select an appropriate model for analyzing a focal decision making situation; describe a real-world decision making situation by a model; analyze the model and take out some insights on the situation from the results of the analysis; convey the analysis results to others concisely.
