I still could not manage to find the dates for Meigu Guan (who contributed with the formulation of the chinese postman problem), for H. Peyton Young and Michel Balinski (who contributed in the area of social choice), and Chris Skinner, at Princeton. Can anyone provide the missing dates? Hopefully, they themselves could do it. Thanks for you attention.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/68998/basic-biographical-data-of-contemporary-mathematicians/69003#69003 Answer by Harun Šiljak for Basic biographical data of contemporary mathematicians Harun Šiljak 2011-06-28T07:01:17Z 2011-06-28T07:01:17Z <p>I tried to find out DOB and DOD for Meigu Guan myself while preparing a biographical addendum for a book, but haven't succeeded - I hope someone will help both you and me. H. Peyton Young was born in 1945 (source: Library of Congress cataloging-in Publication Data).Michel Balinski was born in 1933 (source: A mathematical view of our world by Harold R. Parks, Roger Maurer, Lynn Trimpe), Skinner was born in 1972 (source: his CV).</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/68998/basic-biographical-data-of-contemporary-mathematicians/75029#75029 Answer by toc for Basic biographical data of contemporary mathematicians toc 2011-09-09T18:48:47Z 2011-09-09T18:48:47Z <p>You have to ask him !!! michel.balinski@shs.polytechnique.fr</p>
