(2014) RIP Harold Kuhn

#1 Post by jarnon » Sat Jul 05, 2014 12:40 pm

Harold Kuhn, Princeton mathematician who advanced game theory, dies at 88

I took linear algebra from Prof. Tucker and game theory from Prof. Kuhn in my junior year. The following year, Prof. Kuhn taught linear algebra, and I worked for him as a grader.

I was introduced to the Hungarian method during my senior year in high school.

Did you meet John Nash at Princeton?

I never met him, but his reputation was legendary and mysterious.

BTW, Dr. Nash was just awarded the Abel Prize in mathematics. (He got the Nobel Prize in economics in 1994 for other research.)

I sure hope Bob didn't lose any sleep waiting for an answer to his question.
