Under Construction: The resources below were
updated on Thursday,
February 28, at 10 AM. More resources forthcoming.
What is mathematics? What does a mathematician do all day?
To help students better understand the answers to these questions,
students will embark upon a tenure-track "job" in a mathematics
department. Mathematicians are evaluated based upon three
categories: teaching, research and service.
Students will "teach" by making presentations in class. They will
"research" by writing mathematics papers and submitting them to class
journals for publication. And they will "serve" by peer reviewing
journal articles, organizing conferences and being journal editors.
The class is divided into two mathematics-intensive universities: MUSE & MUG.
Students will earn status at the end of the semester based upon their
entire body of work. The categories are: Full Professor (Tenured),
Associate Professor (Tenured), Associate Professor (Not Tenured) and
Assistant Professor (Not Tenured, Not Promoted).

Theme: This journal is
dedicated to the outstanding work of John Nash and publishes a
wide variety articles especially about the most innovative
applications of game theory to real world strategic settings. Occasionally, high level
mathematics such as calculus or expectation theory are necessary
to analyze games. This journal seeks papers that demonstrate
how to utilize these mathematics topics effectively in game
theoretic settings.
Other Topics: There are two ways to simulate games: digitally using some
software or programming language or with repeated human trials
using pencil-and-paper to record results. Papers that
analyze the experimental side of game theory are encouraged.
Especially good are simulations that play some of the games posed
in conference presentations, journal articles or in class. |

Theme: BHJ is
dedicated primarily to the military and strategic game theory models so well
investigated and popularized by von Neumann and others during the 1960's. Of particular
interest to the journal are articles relating to the Guerillas vs.
Police model and the Strategic Missile Defense model (both in the text,
Chapter 5). Other macro models (mutually assured destruction) or
micro models (small unit engagements, counterterrorism) are also
welcome.
Other Topics: BHJ will also consider articles
that organize, categorize, and solve mathematical
games using basic tools from the course. Especially good are proofs of
important course results and solutions to interesting new
mathematical (non-applied) games. |
