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).
