University of MD Professor wins Nobel Prize!

[alwaysthere]

<p>It’s a safe bet (actually I am sure after reading his resume) Thomas C. Schelling did most of his meaningful work before he came to UMD. You can find the quote from
<a href=“http://www.eur.nl/diesnatalis/2003/schelling[/url]”>http://www.eur.nl/diesnatalis/2003/schelling&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Among his most influential publications are Micromotives and
Macrobehavior (1978) and The Strategy of Conflict (1960). The
latter was translated into five languages and has been selected
as a citation classic and as one of the hundred books that have
been most influential in the West since 1945. He has been honored
with The Frank. E. Seidman Distinguished Award in Political
Economy and The National Academy of Sciences Award for Behavioral
Research Relevant to the Prevention of Nuclear War, 1993. He also
is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Economic Association of
which he was the President in 1991.

<p>But it doesn’t mean UMD did not benefit from his masterful mind. Actually a lot of UCs got their share of Nobel laurates using the same strategy, including UCLA, UCI, UCSD. Their departments are reputed in academic because of these.</p>
