Create Game Theory Forum - Ask PF Mentors

AI Thread Summary
There is currently no dedicated forum for Game Theory discussions on the site. The idea of creating such a forum is supported, as Game Theory is relevant to understanding behavior in various contexts. However, new subforums are typically established only when there is sufficient demand demonstrated through ongoing discussions. For now, Game Theory topics can be posted in existing math or social sciences forums. The conversation emphasizes the importance of having a clear need before creating new subforums.

I didn't see a forum for Game theory discussions on this site.

I wonder whether the PF Mentors would be interested in creating such a forum

Good idea, since it governs the behavior of humans and animals.
It's strategy quantified.
 
New subforums are not created because someone has an idea, but when it is apparent from the discussions in other forums that there is a place for such subforum and there is enough threads to separate them. Otherwise we would have tons of empty subforums.
 
On subject that is always useful and related to Game Theory is decision making in the face of uncertainty.
 
Game theory would fit best within the math forums for now, unless you want to discuss a specific application of it that better fits within someplace like social sciences or biology.
 
Just post in math or social sciences... :zzz:
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
