This course was offered in Spring 2019 and
Spring 2020 (which was transformmed into an on-line class
when the University went into pandemic lockdown in March 2020), co-taught by
David Evans (Computer Science)
and Dennis Nekipelov. Since then,
a related course Introduction to Algorithmic Economics has been taught in
some semesters.
