Michael A. Jones is Associate Editor and Managing Editor of Mathematical Reviews, a division of the American Mathematical Society.  Previously, he held faculty positions at Montclair State University in New Jersey (USA), Loyola University Chicago and the US Military Academy at West Point.  From 2015 to 2019, he served as the editor of the Mathematical Association of America’s Mathematics Magazine.  He earned his doctorate in game theory under Donald G. Saari from Northwestern University’s Department of Mathematics in 1994. His research often focuses on the application of mathematics to the social sciences.  David McCune earned his PhD in algebra from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (USA) in 2011. He is Associate Professor of mathematics at William Jewell College (USA), where he has worked since 2012. His main area of research is mathematical political science, with an emphasis on apportionment and social choice theory. Jennifer M. Wilson earned her PhD in 1993 from Princeton University (USA). She is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at Eugene Lang College, The New School, where she has been on the faculty since 2003. Her research focuses on the idea of fairness and its application to mathematical problems in the social sciences. She has published articles on cooperative game theory, social choice theory, resource allocation, and apportionment. She also writes and teaches on connections between mathematics and the arts, and was a member of the Visualizing Finance Lab at Parsons, The New School, for many years.

“This interesting book demonstrates the application of mathematics to the apportionment problem, especially as used in the US presidential primary. The mathematical analysis is excellent, comprehensive and supported with real data, making this book an important and must-read reference for people who are interested in US politics, especially the application of apportionment methods. The authors indeed show a passion and expertise in writing this book and all deserve credit for a great job.” (Dharma Lesmono, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2024)
