I've been using this http://oyc.yale.edu/economics/game-theory/ You can find practice problems if you would like some (but no solutions) although its not as cleanly organized by topics as this website

Wow, this is a nice effort Mr Willian Spaniel did here. I just watched some classes, and they are very nice spoken and clear. It's just like Khan Academy!

But the most impressive is the textbook costs, only 99 cents or 2,99 cents! I think I will buy, watch the classes and wait for the stanford free class to make a better foundation in game theory.

I am about to take a Game Theory final tomorrow so this post if very relevant :)

The Yale Open Courses Game Theory class is also worth checking out. Material is taught in a very accessible manner.

I used that website for my micro econ final 2 days ago

If you skip classes to work on your side project, that web site is must see.

What I really like about Khan Academy is that Sal takes away all the magic. The limit as x approaches 0 of sinx/x isn't 1 because "that's the formula," it's because (insert Sal's 15 minute proof showing the graphs and allowing you to intuit the result).

In contrast, I just watched the first two lessons of this series and so far it feels like a lot of magic. It's just a "rule" of strictly dominated strategies that each of player 2's middle column values are larger than their end column values, so we can eliminate the whole column. Why is this? What do those values represent?

For anyone who has watched more of the videos, does the series improve in this regard?

Stanford will be continuing its tradition with online courses this spring and one of the classes they plan to host is an introduction to game theory: http://www.game-theory-class.org/index.php .

Should've seen this a couple of weeks ago when it was the topic for AI class. Will probably use this as a reviewer for the finals. Thanks! :)

When I checked the Amazon US links, they're priced at 2.99 and 4.99, respectively. Are the .99 and 2.99 prices available to some countries only?
