George R. Price ( 1922 - January 6, 1975) was a American population geneticist. Originally a physical chemist and later a science journalist, he moved to London in 1967, where he worked in theoretical biology at the Galton Laboratory, making three important contributions: Firstly, rederiving W.D. Hamilton's work on kin selection with a new Price equation; secondly introducing (with John Maynard Smith) the concept of the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS), a central concept in game theory; and thirdly, formalising Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection. A troubled man, Price converted from atheism to Christianity, and after giving all his possessions to the poor, committed suicide. ...more on Wikipedia about "George R. Price"

Originally an aeronautical engineer during the Second World War, he then took a second degree in genetics under the great J.B.S. Haldane.

John von Neumann (Neumann János) ( December 28, 1903 – February 8, 1957) was a Hungarian- German mathematician and polymath of Jewish ancestry who made important contributions in quantum physics, functional analysis, set theory, computer science, economics and many other mathematical fields. Most notably, von Neumann was a pioneer of the modern digital computer and the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics (see Von Neumann algebra), member of the Manhattan Project Team, creator of game theory and the concept of cellular automata. ...more on Wikipedia about "John von Neumann"

Lloyd Stowell Shapley, (Cambridge, Massachusetts, June 2, 1923 - ) is a professor Emeritus at UCLA of economics. He has contributed to the fields of statistics and especially game theory. After serving in the army for two years during World War II, from 1943 to 1945, he graduated from Harvard University in 1948 and worked at the RAND corporation for a short time before going to Princeton University where he received a Ph.D. in 1953. His thesis and post-doctoral work continued the ideas of Francis Ysidro Edgeworth introducing the Shapley value and the core solution concept in game theory. After graduating, he remained at Princeton for short time before going back to the RAND coporation from 1954 to 1981. He married Marian Ludolph in 1955 (with whom he has two sons, Peter and Christopher). Since 1981 he has been a professor at UCLA. ...more on Wikipedia about "Lloyd Shapley"
