There are 4 modules in this course

This week we will explore how individual decision rules and heuristics can create higher-order outcomes when applied in groups.

This week we will explore mathematical models of different decision processes in game theory scenarios.

This week we will explain how different game theory models of decision making can model evolutionary processes and how different behaviors can be supportive of species survival from an evolutionary perspective.

This week we will discuss how different behaviors of biological life can be reproduced in artificial systems.
