Game theory is at the crossroads of mathematics, economics and decision sciences. It deals with rational behavior of agents who are in interaction. This covers situations of conflict or situations of cooperation.
John Louis von Neumann (Born 28 December 1903, Budapest, Hungary; Died 8 February 1957, Washington DC) is considered as the founder of modern Game theory.
A very active scientific domain

An interesting series of books
The Annals of the ISDG
Annals of the International Society of Dynamic Games is a publication, which consists of refereed papers representing the latest developments concerning the theory and applications of dynamic games. This is an outgrowth of the activities of The International Society of Dynamic Games (ISDG), which was founded in 1990. The primary goals of ISDG are to promote interactions among researchers interested in the theory and applications of dynamic games; to facilitate dissemination of information on current activities and results in this area; and to enhance the visibility of dynamic games research and its vast potential applications.
