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.
(2014) RIP Harold Kuhn

Did you meet John Nash at Princeton?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

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