Questions and Answers
Which of the following describes a physical change in matter?
Which of the following describes a physical change in matter?
- A change that alters the substance's identity, forming a new substance.
- Any change that involves burning or combustion.
- A process always accompanied by changes in temperature.
- A transformation where the substance's nature remains unchanged; no new substances appear. (correct)
What is the key difference between a physical and chemical change?
What is the key difference between a physical and chemical change?
- Physical changes always involve energy, while chemical changes do not.
- Physical changes alter the state of matter, while chemical changes only alter the appearance.
- Chemical changes are reversible; physical changes are irreversible.
- Physical changes do not change the substance's chemical identity, while chemical changes do. (correct)
Which of the following is always true about the chemical formula of a substance after it undergoes a physical change?
Which of the following is always true about the chemical formula of a substance after it undergoes a physical change?
- The chemical formula changes to represent a new compound.
- The chemical formula may change depending on the energy involved.
- The substance no longer has a chemical formula.
- The chemical formula remains the same. (correct)

Study Notes
- Algorithmic Game Theory (AGT) is the application of algorithmic design techniques to game-theoretic problems, considering players with computational limitations
Game Theory
- Examines interactions among rational, self-interested agents
- Has applications in economics, politics, biology, and computer science
Algorithm Design
- Focuses on creating efficient problem-solving algorithms
- Operates within constraints of limited computational resources
Selfish Routing Model
- Involves a network where each road has latency, $l_e(x)$, based on traffic fraction $x$
- Users aim to minimize travel time from point A to B by choosing routes
- Explores user behavior when acting selfishly and compares equilibrium to optimal route assignment
Braess's Paradox
- Illustrates how adding a road to a network can increase travel time for all users
Social Cost
- Is the sum of all players' costs
- Increases in the Braess's Paradox when a road is added
Mechanism Design
- Is the process of designing game rules to achieve a desirable outcome
- Includes auctions, voting rules, and matching markets
Key Questions in Mechanism Design
- Focus on creating mechanisms that are efficient and incentive-compatible
- Investigates the complexity of these mechanisms
AGT Overview
- Is an evolving field with many unanswered questions
- Integrates computer science, economics, and game theory
- Has potential to influence network design and online advertising, among other applications
