Abstract

Professor Gale is a member of that small group of people who, starting in the fifties, have redefined and reformulated mathematical economics. Mathematical economics as it existed at the end of the forties, consisted of consumer theory, a theory of production in terms of production functions, a simple general equilibrium theory and a variety of partial models on different topics. Its main mathematical tool was calculus. During the second world war new mathematical methods and models had been developed, particularly input-output analysis, linear programming and game theory.
