Melvin Dresher was a Polish-born American mathematician, best known for his work in game theory. He co-developed the Prisoner's dilemma model in collaboration with Merrill Flood while at the RAND Corporation in 1950. This model examined aspects of cooperation and conflict, foundational concepts in game theory. The famous prison-sentence interpretation of the game was provided by Albert W. Tucker, which is how the dilemma acquired its well-known name. Dresher's contributions have had a lasting impact on economics, political science, and sociology.
