This text covers the basic concepts and insights of game theory and offers classic examples and applications in a concise format. It provides a serious treatment of contract - an important, but often neglected topic in game theory - with minimal departure from the standard game coverage. Without skimping on mathematical precision, this text presents concepts and applications us...(展开全部)

Historical linguistics seeks to find out by going beyond the history of individual languages to discover the general principles which underlie language change. But our evidence is severely limited. Most of the world's languages are still unwritten, and even in areas with long written traditions, such as Europe and the Near East, do...(展开全部)
