First edition of this work by the famed mathematician. Octavo, original wrappers. Signed by John Milnor on the title page. In very good condition, name to the half-title page and pastedown. The theory of characteristic classes provides a meeting ground for the various disciplines of differential topology, differential and algebraic geometry, cohomology, and fiber bundle theory. As such, it is a fundamental and an essential tool in the study of differentiable manifolds. In this volume, the authors provide a thorough introduction to characteristic classes, with detailed studies of Stiefel-Whitney classes, Chern classes, Pontrjagin classes, and the Euler class. Three appendices cover the basics of cohomology theory and the differential forms approach to characteristic classes, and provide an account of Bernoulli numbers. Based on lecture notes of John Milnor, which first appeared at Princeton University in 1957 and have been widely studied by graduate students of topology ever since.

First edition of each work in this ground-breaking four volume work on game theory. Octavo, 4 volumes, original orange wrappers. Volume one is signed by contributors John von Neumann and John Nash on the title page. Contains the article by the Nobel Prize-winning economist entitled, "A Simple Three Person Poker Game." Volume II is signed by contributors Kenneth J. Arrow and John Milnor. Volume III is signed by contributors W.H. Fleming and Philip Wolfe on the title page. Volume IV is signed by contributors Robert J. Aumann and Martin Shubik. In near fine condition with some rubbing and wear. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. An exceptional set, most rare and desirable signed by von Neumann and other contributors. Volume I contains: G.W. Brown & John Von Neumann, âSolutions of Games by Differential Equationsâ (pp. 73-79); John Nash & Lloyd Shapleyâs important paper: âA Simple Three-person Poker Gameâ (105-16), and other papers by Hermann, Weyle, Gale, Dresher, Kuhn, McKinsey, et al. Volume II contains: Lloyd Shapleyâs âA Value for n-Person Gamesâ (pp. 307-17): A âremarkable 1953 paper⦠There he proposed that it might be possible to evaluate, in a numerical way, the âvalueâ of playing a game. The particular function he derived for this purpose, which has come to be called the Shapley value, has been the focus of sustained interest among students of cooperative game theory ever sinceâ (Alvin Roth, who shared the 2012 Nobel Prize with Shapley, Chapter 1: âIntroduction to the Shapley Value,â in Roth, The Shapley Value: Essays in Honor of Lloyd S. Shapley, Cambridge University Press, 1988). Also contains Von Neumannâs âA Certain Zero-Sum Two-Person Game Equivalent to the Optimal Assignment Problemâ (pp. 5-12) and D.B. Gillies, J.P. Mayberry, & Von Neumann, âTwo Variants of Pokerâ (pp. 13-50). The latter is the supplement to Von Neumann and Morgensternâs Theory of Games and Economic Behavior promised in the footnote on p. 196 of the second edition. Volume III contributors include Gale, Karlin, Kemeny, Oxtoby, Scarf, Shapley, et al. Volume IV contributors include Nobel Laureates Harsanyi, Aumann, and Shapley, as well as Kalisch, Von Neumann (âOn the Theory of Games of Strategy,â pp. 13-42), Shubik, et al. Shapley won the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel for 2012, commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Economics.
