'''Elwyn Ralph Berlekamp''', (born September 6, 1940- April 9, 2019)<br/>was an American electrical engineer, computer scientist and professor emeritus of Mathematics at the [[University of California, Berkeley]]. He finished his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] in 1964, where his thesis advisors were [[Mathematician#RGGallager|Robert G. Gallager]], [[Mathematician#PElias|Peter Elias]], [[Claude Shannon]] and [[Mathematician#JWozencraft|John Wozencraft]] <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elwyn_Berlekamp Elwyn Berlekamp from Wikipedia]</ref>. While undergraduate at MIT, Berlekamp was member of the chess group and worked on Chess Playing routines for the [[IBM 704]] Computer, also joined by [[Alan Kotok]] and others to build the [[Kotok-McCarthy-Program]] for the [[IBM 7090]]. Berlekamp dropped out of this project in 1960 and focused on [[Bridge]], [[Go]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_game_theory combinatorial game theory] <ref>[http://math.berkeley.edu/%7Eberlek/pubs/gamrep.html Games: Conference Proceedings and Technical Reports]</ref>.
