Abstract: Abstract A short introduction into the history of game theory shows game theory’s close relationship to mathematicsMathematics and its roots in “games of conflictConflict and war.” The basic concepts of game theory are discussed making use of the fundamental operations of summing up, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.

These concepts help to make the message of the text more concise and easier to structure—and thus easier to access. A brief reference to probabilities concludes the chapter by referring to Émile Borel’sBorel, Émileinfinite monkey theoremInfinite monkey theorem.
