Game Theorists analyze strategic decision-making in situations where multiple agents interact with each other, often with conflicting interests. They use mathematical models to predict the behavior of these agents and determine the optimal strategies for each one. Game theory is used in a wide variety of fields, including economics, political science, computer science, and biology.
