This influential treatise presents upper-level undergraduates and graduate students with a mathematical analysis of choice behavior. It begins with the statement of a general axiom upon which the rest of the book rests; the following three chapters, which may be read independently of each other, are devoted to applications of the theory to substantive problems: psychophysics, utility, and learning. Applications to psychophysics include considerations of the Fechnerian assumption and signal detectability theory; discussion of utility theory features unusual results that suggest an experiment to test the theory; and learning-related topics analyze stochastic theories as the basic approach. 1959 ed.
