Hi - I suspect you might want the other Sam Altman (who I don’t think is on bsky, or at least not yet).

I’m much less interesting!

I know a lot of Harvard’s course material is all accessible online.

Otherwise both the Open University and Open Yale Courses have modules in GT - I suspect there are others as well.

One thing to look out for is that sometimes GT is taught from the maths/OR departments, other times from economics.

Eg:

Game Theory: A very short introduction (Ken Binmore)

The Art of Strategy (Dixit and Nalebuff)

Game theory: a critical introduction (Hargreaves-Heap and Varoufakis) -> this one has more conceptual discussion in it.

(These were all on our reading list)

For more advanced content…

Honestly, that course really isn’t worth your time - it was more setting students up for modules later in the degree.

There are some very good introductory books (and more advanced books) I’d recommend instead…

Hi, what questions do you have?

That course was an undergraduate game theory module I taught some years back. The Dropbox link was specifically just to some revision material for the students to help them prepare for the exam, hence no documentation.
