Lloyd Stowell Shapley was an American mathematician and Nobel Memorial Prize-winning economist. He contributed to the fields of mathematical economics and especially game theory. Shapley is generally considered one of the most important contributors to the development of game theory since the work of von Neumann and Morgenstern. With Alvin E. Roth, Shapley won the 2012 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences "for the theory of stable allocations and the practice of market design."

The History of Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction is a book on the history of mathematics. Rather than giving a systematic overview of the historical development of mathematics, it provides an introduction to how the discipline of the history of mathematics is studied and researched, through a sequence of case studies in historical topics. It was written by British historian of mathematics Jackie Stedall (1950–2014), and published in 2012 as part of the Oxford University Press Very Short Introductions series of books. It has been listed as essential for mathematics libraries, and won the Neumann Prize for books on the history of mathematics.
The Hirst Prize and Lectureship is a biennial prize, jointly awarded by the London Mathematical Society (LMS) and the British Society for the History of Mathematics (BSHM). The prize recognises original and innovative contributions to the history of mathematics by an individual winner or by joint winners.
