Albert W. Tucker (1905- ), a student of topology, mathematical programming, game theory, and combinatorics, spent his career at Princeton University.

From the description of Tucker, Albert William, papers, 1946-1983. (University of Texas Libraries). WorldCat record id: 19484876

Albert William Tucker was born in 1905 in Ontario, Canada. He earned his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1932 and joined the faculty there in 1933. Tucker was a member of the Princeton University Department of Mathematics until 1970, serving as department chairman during the 1950s and 1960s.

Albert W. Tucker (1905-1995) began his career as a topologist and is known for his work in linear programming and game theory. He was the creator of the paradox known as the "Prisoner's Dilemma." Tucker is also well known for the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions, a basic result in non-linear programming. He taught and influenced many mathematicians during his long career at Princeton University, including his 1950 Ph.D. student John F. Nash, winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics. Tucker was also involved in mathematics education, serving as president of the MAA (1961-1962) and contributing to the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics. The Mathematical Programming Society awards the A. W. Tucker Prize each year for an outstanding paper or thesis solely authored by a student.
