Body: <p>I am an undergrad going into my junior year this semester. I really wanted to explore algorithmic game theory, as my university has some excellent professors in that field.

Comments.Text: You can find some lecture notes here: https://ml2.inf.ethz.ch/courses/agt/ I took the course and if I remember correctly there weren't too many prerequisites, although I did have some familiarity with game theory. The lecture notes are a bit sparse, so I recommend using them as a study guide and looking for complementary material on the same topics as you go along.

Title: Algorithmic Game Theory as an undergrad

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-08-31)
  
  I am an undergrad going into my junior year this semester. I really wanted to explore algorithmic game theory, as my university has some excellent professors in that field. However, as my undergrad is drawing to a close, it is seeming increasingly likely that I will not be able to do this in my undergrad if I don't step up and teach myself the basics. However, looking online, I am unable to find anything "basic" for intro students to the subject. Would you have any recommendations on how to start learning algorithmic game theory?
