In daily life, we frequently make decisions, ranging from choosing clothes to selecting a restaurant for lunch. Some decisions are made subconsciously, while others require deep consideration. How should we approach the problem of decision-making? Can we gain a better understanding of the process to make more informed decisions? This course is designed to introduce the fundamentals of decision theory and game theory. Through lectures, films, and hands-on experiments, students will have the opportunity to apply these theories and explore their practical applications.
