 on behavior and how members of the population can 
 be viewed as engaging in a strategic interaction w
 ith one another &mdash\; a &quot\;game&quot\; &mda
 sh\; that determines the trajectory of the epidemi
 c.&nbsp\; Take part in an audience participatory e
 xample\, illustrating how these interactions can b
 e analyzed mathematically using game theory &mdash
 \; and how math really can help us emerge victorio
 us.\n \n Special introduction by Julie Gerberding\
