  • VCTAL Game Theory Module.Docx
    Competition or Collusion? Game Theory in Security, Sports, and Business A CCICADA Homeland Security Module James Kupetz, Luzern County Community College [email protected] Choong-Soo Lee, St. Lawrence University [email protected] Steve Leonhardi, Winona State University [email protected] 1/90 Competition or Collusion? Game Theory in Security, Sports, and Business Note to teachers: Teacher notes appear in dark red in the module, allowing faculty to pull these notes off the teacher version to create a student version of the module. Module Summary This module introduces students to game theory concepts and methods, starting with zero-sum games and then moving on to non-zero-sum games. Students learn techniques for classifying games, for computing optimal solutions where known, and for analyzing various strategies for games in which no optimal solution exists. Finally, students have the opportunity to transfer what they’ve learned to new game-theoretic situations. Prerequisites Students should be able to use the skills learned in High School Algebra 1, including the ability to graph linear equations, find points of intersection, and algebraically solve systems of two linear equations in two unknowns. Knowledge of basic probability (such as should be learned by the end of 9th grade) is also required; experience with computing expected value would be helpful, but can be taught as part of the module. No computer programming experience is required or involved, although students with some programming knowledge may be able to adapt their knowledge to optional projects. Suggested Uses This module can be used with students in grades 10-14 in almost any class, but is best suited to students in mathematics, economics, political science, or computer science courses.

First, the manual presents a background discussion of the materials. The materials resulted from an ethnic education project basedon a course for teachers on Community Policies in Ethnic Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle. One of the main goals of the project was to develop materials in ethnic studies for grades 5-8 that deal with Greeks, Jews, Lithuanians, and Ukrainians. Two main themes selected for the materials are(1) contributions of an ethnic group to American life and (2) the relationship of an ethnic group to its homeland. The materials concentrate on the following five topics: early settlement of America, mass immigration, cultural patterns in Europe and USSR, conflicts within the nation, and challenge of an interdependent world. The ways that the themes in the materialscan be integrated into an existing curriculum are listed and matchedto one of the five topics of ethnic studies.

By Alyssa Noelle Bonesteel * * * * * * * * * Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of Political Science and Honors in the Department of Russian and East European Studies UNION COLLEGE March, 2017 i ABSTRACT BONESTEEL, ALYSSA The Evolution of Women in Intelligence ADVISOR: Thomas Lobe, Kristin Bidoshi This thesis serves to analyze the evolution of women in the intelligence community, arguing that the role of women has transformed from one of a sexual nature into one of strong leadership. Early sources portray the female spy as a sexual object, using her body to covertly gather intelligence through the disguise of a stereotypical woman. Women hid behind their socially accepted roles as housewives or nurses. Using a mix of primary and secondary sources, including the declassified CIA Typist to Trailblazer document collection, as well as sources of spy fiction, this thesis identifies the factors that inhibited the advancement of women in the intelligence community.

    Flora Feature: Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) By Rob Thorn This bird is the common woodland jay of eastern North America. The genus name derives from cyano as blue and citta as noisy bird, while the species name cristata means crested. “Noisy Blue Crested Bird” is probably about as succinct a description of Blue Jays as is possible. Family: Corvidae. This is the big family of crows, magpies, ravens, and jays. These gregarious, intelligent birds are worldwide in distribution, even being found in remote arctic and alpine habitats. The jays are more tropical than most members of the family, with many noisy, colorful jay species in Mexico and Central America. The genus Cyanocitta includes the Steller’s Jay, a darker Columbus western relative with some distinct differences in habitat and behavior. Range: Largely central and eastern North America, extending from the Canadian maritimes and central Manitoba south to Florida and southern Audubon Texas. The heart of their range is the mixed oak forest of the central and east- ern U.S., but their adaptation to human farms and settlements has allowed them to spread west along the Great Plains to the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, all the way from Alberta to Colorado. As common as they are in Song the eastern U.S., it’s hard to grasp that they are uncommon to rare in the west. They’re uncommon in the Great Plains, and they’re unusual vagrants in the intermountain West and along much of the Pacific coast. They also are strikingly absent from the boreal forests of northern Canada, possibly because Sparrow of the cold weather and lack of large nuts in those forests.
