Please point me a way to a mathematical project

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a request for guidance on a mathematical project focused on game theory, specifically analyzing Nash equilibria using linear algebra. The original poster expresses difficulty due to a lack of knowledge and limited resources on the topic. Suggestions include exploring payoff matrices as a potential area of analysis. Concerns are raised about the feasibility of writing a lengthy paper on a subject the poster is unfamiliar with. The urgency of the request highlights the pressure to find a suitable direction for the project.

Please point me a way to a mathematical project!

Hello everybody,
As a part of my Maths program I need to write an essay of about 25-30 pages. Game theory is the main topics and I now need a direction to analyse in game theory using mathematical method such as linear algebra. As I don't have a lot of knowledge about this topic, it should be mostly related to maths. I tried to examine the Nash equilibria in different scenarios but it's very complicated and the source is extremely scare.
It would be really great if somebody could help me out here.
It is really urgent!

Hey superball and welcome to the forums.

Have you looked at payoff matrices?:rolleyes:

Yes I do. Is there any valuable things to disscus in matrix games? cauz it's a pretty long paper

30 pages of math on a subject you don't know anything about? Just curious as to what kind of class this is. If you have to write that much, it's helpful if you already know something about the topic. Did you teacher just tell you to go write 30 pages on something you know nothing about? How are you supposed to succeed at a task like that?
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
