Algorithmic game theory lies at the intersection of economics, game theory and computer science.

It combines ideas such as utility maximization and mechanism design from economics, rationality and Nash equlibrium from game theory, with such concepts as complexity and algorithm design from discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. Examples of topics include networking, peering, online auctions and exchanges, online advertising, search engine's page ranking.
