I knew nothing about him at the time, and on the first day he openly and sheepishly admitted it was the first time he had taught the course. But he was a terrific teacher and I learned many interesting results, such as the Whitney Embedding Theorem, in his course. Only later did it dawn on me that he might have been interested in teaching the material because of its many game-theoretic/equilibrium connections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
