Nash Equilibrium

Nash equilibrium- When a players of the game try to make the best possible decision they can according to the other person decision. And the other person’s decisions are based on the 1st players.

Game theory- a situation where a persons choice of action depends critically on the actions of the other participants

Prisoner dilemma- when two individuals act in their best interest to pursue a course of action which does not end out ideally for their course of action
I found out that after playing the game a few times that if you press cooperate the whole time you tie with the Serendip, and if you press compete the whole time you will win. Its hard to come up with a strategy to beat the Serendip by a landslide but, I believe that the strategy is once you play the first move the Serendip will acclimate with that move. Say you have pressed the cooperate button after you have pressed the compete button a few times. The Serendip will probably compete with the cooperate button at first, but then he will realize you cooperate then decide to cooperate as well.

Give an example of Game Theory/prisoner dilemma:

In history: John von Neumann in the 1920’s, they studied “zero sum” games and eventually won a 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize
In Government: The executive branch of the U.S. government engaged in international negotiations on trade or related matters can credibly take a firm stance by pointing out that the Congress would not ratify anything less.
In economics: enabled information economics to burgeon in the last twenty years is the parallel development of concepts and techniques
related to sociology: The case of the Afrikaners they chose to blame Africa for their problems and that did help them at all. If they accepted their problems then maybe they would get along africa
related to psychology: when you ask a person on a date, you want to use the best strategy you can to win the person over

In your everyday life: When two good tv shows are on and you have to choose whether or not to pick one according to whether or not its on again.
