Question

Explain the Influence of mathematics on geopolitics and socioeconomics through theories such as game theory, social choice theory, prisoner’s dilemma, and operations research.

Answer 1

Game theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with decision making. We know that decision making is very vital in every aspect, so whenever there is a decision-making process game theory comes into play. Prisoner's dilemma is one classic example of game theory in which two prisoners are given choices either to confess or not confess. Based on their decision that they will take independently punishments are decided. Each of the prisoners will try to choose the option that is most suitable for him.

Operation research is a branch that deals with the management of resources, labor etc,
