Thomas L. Vincent: a game theorist for all seasons

摘要

To us, Thomas L. Vincent is special, very special. Of course, we are biased. One of us calls him 'Dad', the other calls him 'Mentor'. This volume in honour of Tom drew such an overwhelming response of fine manuscripts from friends and colleagues that they fill two issues (look for the upcoming May issue). What makes this man so special? He has not won the Nobel Prize, he does not advise Presidents on matters of import, his professional curriculum vitae, at first glance, is excellent and laudable, but comparable to others who have worked as hard and had as long a career. Yet Tom Vincent merits special accolades.
