Hi everyone,

Here are the grades of Ex3, suggested solution (take into account that some questions had a lot of possible answers), and final grades of the course.

The calculation of the final grade is .

Odds are there aren’t any disagreements between the grades you got and the grades listed, but if you believe something went amiss – email Tali.

You will find your exercises in Ross -1. To appeal, make sure you have a clean and clear claim, and coordinate with Tali.
Last day for appeals is Thursday, 15th of July.

Have a wonderful summer and good luck with the exams,

- Course staff

Extension on problem set 2

Tali Gutman — Sun, 02 May 2010 13:43:45 +0000

Hi everyone,

We have decided to give a one week extension on problem set 2. It is due Tuesday 11.05.2010, in class.

Grading of Ex1 and some general comments

Tali Gutman — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 10:42:52 +0000

Hi everyone,

Ex1 has been graded and you will get your exercises back on Tuesday. Grading system is just like that of last semester (for whomever didn’t take the class, each question/subsection is graded with 0,1 or 2, and final grades will calculated with respect to that come the end of the semester).

Along with the grades we are posting a solution guidelines and common errors file, so that you’ll be able to learn both from your own mistakes and from others’.

For exercise 2, please note these general submission guidelines:

Please, do not submit via email unless you specifically asked for permission to do so (prior to the deadline). If you do submit via email – make sure that you send a small file (<2.5MB, for instance), and send in PDF format and in PDF only.
Write with clear handwriting, and if that is not an option – type. We won’t give ‘benefit of the doubt’ points, and ‘what you meant to write’ will make no difference.

We do our best to understand your solutions and how you arrived at them, please don’t make that job any harder than it should be.

Information about course syllabus and requirements has been posted.

Welcome

Noam Nisan — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:34:09 +0000

The website for the course “Computational Topics in Game Theory” (55923 — נושאים חישוביים בתורת המשחקים) will be put here. The course will be offered by Noam Nisan and Michal Feldman in the Spring semester of 2010 (תש”ע) in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The course is open to graduate students as well as final-year undergraduate students from Business, Computer Science, Economics, Math, and the Center for Rationality. The course is independent of the course “Topics on the border of economics and computation” that is given by the same lecturers in the fall semester.

This year the course will be based mostly on Part II from the book Algorithmic Game Theory (online version). It will cover computational aspects of social choice (voting), auctions, and mechanism design.
