What Are the Prerequisites for Understanding Game Theory?

[woundedtiger4]

any prerequisites to cover the following Course content:

The courses examines the theory of games and its applications in economics: Game trees with perfect information, NIM, combinatorial games. Backward induction. Extensive and strategic (normal) form of a game. Nash equilibrium. Commitment. Zero sum games, mixed strategies. Maxmin strategies. Nash equilibria in mixed strategies. Finding mixed-strategy equilibria for two-person games. Extensive games with information sets, behaviour strategies, perfect recall. If time permits: The Nash bargaining solution. Multistage bargaining.

ps. any good text on it?

Sounds similar to a class that I've taken actually. I didn't really see too much advanced prerequisites. Maybe some basic probability theory and solid knowledge of linear algebra. If you can get some understanding of linear programming, that's good too.
Here are some relevant free texts:
