I admit the only time I've encountered the word utility as an algebraist is when I had to TA Linear Optimisation & Game Theory; it was in the sections of notes for the M level course that wasn't examinable for the Bachelors students so I didn't bother reading it. My knowledge caps out at equilibria of mixed strategies. It's interesting to see that there's some rigorous way of codifying user preference. I'll have to read about it at some point.
