Scoring a Point

A team scores a point in the following ways:

Part 3: Strategic Cooperation

The Rationale for Cooperation

Why cooperation? It may offer ways out of inefficient market solutions. For example, cooperation is crucial when:

• Buying inputs from a supplier.
• Deciding on price and quality of goods.
• Formulating advertising strategy in a competitive market.

The Backward Induction Problem: Backward induction would typically imply an aggressive strategy only, because in the last stage, cooperation is not a Nash equilibrium.

At Ohio State University, Jesse Owens is a student running track, despite being a Black American facing racial discrimination and slurs from white athletes. He attracts the attention of coach Larry Snyder, who believes Jesse has poor posture but significant potential. Snyder recruits him for the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. Jesse, who chose the university based on Snyder's reputation, is interested, though hesitant about racial propaganda in Nazi Germany. The U.S. considers boycotting the Olympics due to fears that Black and Jewish athletes may be banned, only agreeing to participate when Nazi official Joseph Goebbels gives personal assurances that there will be no ban and that Nazi propaganda will be controlled....

Medical vs. Non-Medical Terminology

The Invention and Early Spread of Basketball

Basketball was invented in December 1891 by Canadian Catholic educator James Naismith. As an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Springfield, Massachusetts, he sought a suitable indoor game for the winter months. The game incorporated elements of American football, soccer, and hockey. Initially, teams had nine players, used a soccer ball, and aimed for wooden baskets fixed to walls. By 1897, five-player teams became standard. The game quickly spread across the United States, Canada, and other parts of the world, enjoyed by both men and women. American soldiers during World War II further popularized the game internationally.
