Repeated Games

Note: These are not designed to be student facing.

I make these notes available with the intent of making it easier to plan and/or take notes from class.

Student facing resources for each topic are all available at vknight.org/gt/.

Activity (20 minutes)

Watch video of golden balls.

Tell students to create four teams and that we will play an IPD tournament:

\[A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 0\\ 5 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\qquad B = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 5\\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\]
