Despite the fact that Ramsey's work on probabilities was of great importance again no one paid any attention to it until the publication of " Theory of Games and Economic Behavior " of John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern in 1944 ( 1947 2nd ed .)

The Bellman equation was first applied to engineering control theory and to other topics in applied mathematics, and subsequently became an important tool in economic theory; though the basic concepts of dynamic programming are prefigured in John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern's " Theory of Games and Economic Behavior " and Abraham Wald's " sequential analysis ".

In 1991 he was awarded the Balzan Prize for Genetics and Evolution " For his powerful analysis of evolutionary theory and of the role of sexual reproduction as a critical factor in evolution and in the survival of species; for his mathematical models applying the theory of games to evolutionary problems " ( motivation of the Balzan General Prize Committee ).
