  • "After one year of graduate work at the University of Toronto, Halperin entered the Ph.D. program at Princeton in 1933. He talks about student life, Fine Hall (especially the common room), and about his preliminary examinations for his Ph.D. He tells of working under John von Neumann for his thesis. Tucker and Halperin discuss mathematicians at Princeton in the middle 1930s including Norman Levinson, Nathan Jacobson, Hermann Wyle, and especially von Neumann. Tucker tells of working briefly on the von Neumann computer project just after World War II. Tucker and Halperin talk about the beginnings of game theory."
