This course is an introduction to game theory and strategic thinking. Ideas such as dominance, backward induction, Nash equilibrium, evolutionary stability, commitment, credibility, asymmetric information, adverse selection, and signaling are discussed and applied to games played in class and to examples drawn from economics, politics, the movies, and elsewhere.
Robert Lang is a pioneer of the newest kind of origami -- using math and engineering principles to fold mind-blowingly intricate designs that are beautiful and, sometimes, very useful.
Philip Zimbardo knows how easy it is for nice people to turn bad. In this talk, he shares insights and graphic unseen photos from the Abu Ghraib trials. Then he talks about the flip side: how easy it is to be a hero, and how we can rise to the challenge.

What would happen if a 150.000-tonnes meteorite hit you? Sadly, this is precisely what has happened to the demure Henri Debrus, forcing himself to detach from his body at a specific and constant 91-centimetre distance apart. Undoubtedly, his predicament sounds improbable or even tragic and funny at the same time, nevertheless, let us see how would you cope with this complex day-to-day problem if your existence was mocked by every physical law. Just imagine it. It's not funny.

They are universal and equal. The following pubilcation gives an overview of Human Rights across the globe."--BCcampus website.
