Mathematician Alexey Savvateev on game theory, election management and Nash equilibrium Read the transcript at the link: https://postnauka.ru/video/154843 Alexey Savvateev's blog: / matkult-privet Alexey Savvateev (https://postnauka.ru/author/savvateev) - Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Dmitry Pozharsky University Game theory. Before we deal with the goals and objectives of this area, I will tell you a story that is close to each of us. In the morning, you think about how to get to work. Car owners solve the issue of traffic jams and parking. If you leave the car near the entrance, then you can predict the travel time with an accuracy of several minutes. The accuracy of our public transport is very high. We will get behind the wheel only if there is hope of getting to the right place faster. From the east of Moscow to the south, I travel through the metro for an hour. If you take the metro and the Moscow Central Circle, the journey will take an hour and fifteen minutes. If I get behind the wheel, I expect to get there in 45 minutes. I don’t drive, so this is not about me, but about a typical Muscovite who has a car. He thinks about whether to get behind the wheel or not. In the end, he got behind the wheel, drove 40-45 minutes and was faster.
