>About this manual</A
></H1
><P
>This manual is written with the assumption the reader is familiar with
the basic terms and concepts of game theory.  Where possible, Gambit
uses terminology standard in game theory; definitions of game-theoretic
concepts will only be introduced where confusion may occur.  
Game theory novices should supplement this manual with a standard text
on the topic; a list of some of these is given in the
<A
HREF="bib.html"
>bibliography</A
>.</P
><P
>Beginning with version 0.97, the Gambit manual is written using DocBook.
This manual can always be browsed online at the Gambit website, and can
be downloaded in HTML and PDF formats for local use.</P
