Abstract
The Nobel Prize presentation ceremony recently concluded in
Oslo, Norway, and like most others, I only managed to read
the first two paragraphs of any article on the achievements
of these men and women. Being a student of mathematics, and due
to the absence of a Nobel prize in that field (rumoured to be due to
a disagreement between Alfred Nobel and mathematician Mittag
Leffler), I find myself drowning in the technical jargon present
in all such write ups. I was thus circumspect when I saw a notice
announcing a talk – requiring no prior knowledge of the subject –
on the Nobel Prize winning work of Alvin Roth (Economist) and
Lloyd Shapley (Mathematician/ Economist).
