	Approval voting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "Approval voting" was first coined by Robert J. Weber in 1976, but was fully devised in 1977 and published in 1978 by political scientist Steven Brams and mathematician Peter Fishburn.
		Historically, something resembling Approval voting for candidates was used in the Republic of Venice during the 13th century and for elections in 19th century England.
		A study by Approval advocates Steven Brams and Dudley R. Herschbach published in Science in 2000 argued that approval voting was "fairer" than preference voting on a number of criteria.

	ALTERNATIVE VOTING SYSTEMS
		The first shows that STV is vulnerable to "truncation of preferences" when two out of four candidates are to be elected, the second that it is also vulnerable to "nonmonotonicity" when there is one candidate to be elected and there is no transfer of so-called surplus votes.
		Approval voting, proposed independently by several analysts in the l970s (Brams and Fishburn, l983), is a voting procedure that is designed in part to prevent the election of minority candidates in multicandidate contests (i.e., those with three or more candidates).
		A rational voter will vote for a second choice if his or her first choice appears to be a long shot--as indicated, for example, by the polls--but the voter's calculus and its effects on outcomes is not yet well understood for either approval voting or the other procedures discussed herein (Nurmi, l987; Merrill, l988).

		Brams and Taylor published their procedure in the January 1995 American Mathematical Monthly.
		Brams has talked to a few, and he actually detects enthusiasm among them for efficient conflict resolution rather than protracted litigation.

	A MATHEMATICAL APPROACH TO DIVISION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Taylor and Brams' work is only a small part of a rapidly surfacing trend.
		So this past year, Brams and Taylor turned their attention to a more workable method.
		The rest is split according to a mathematical formula that Taylor and Brams guarantee is envy-free.

	Dividing the Spoils
		Brams soon discovered a fair way to divide at least part of the cake among three players.
		Unfortunately, when Brams moved on to four players, he found that his three-way strategy fell apart, just as the two-player game does when you naively expand it to three.
		Brams hastily explained the gist of it and mentioned how some of the "world's best minds," according to Olivastro, had failed to solve it.

		More important, Brams argues, approval voting gives each voter equal "sovereignty" over the way his or her vote is counted.
		Brams argues that voters should have "sovereignty"— that one voter's 1-2-3-4-5 may be different from another voter's 1-2-3-4-5.
		According to Brams's former student Arnold Urken, a political scientist at the Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey, the failure was not surprising.

		In l985, the president of the MAA, Lynn Arthur Steen, who knew Brams and was familiar with work on AV, told him that he wished the Board of Governors of the MAA to consider adoption of AV in its biennial elections for president-elect and other national offices.
		Brams, who had contacted the IEEE after the l986 election and recommended consideration of AV, was invited in l987 by the president of the IEEE, Henry L. Bachman, to attend an Executive Council meeting to discuss AV.
		When the IEEE's adoption of AV was announced at a December l987 IEEE press conference in New York City that Brams and Nagel attended, Feerst objected strenuously to its use, arguing that it was a deliberate move to undermine his candidacy and the interests of "working engineers," whom he claimed to represent.

		To this question, Brams and Taylor bring a patented procedure that not only is fair but also actually guarantees both parties walk away with as much of the "win-win" potential as possible.
		In this illuminating and instructive survey, Brams demonstrates both the insights and the pitfalls that can result from applying game theoretic models to the analysis of problems in political science.

		Steven Brams, a political scientist at New York University, and Alan Taylor, a mathematician at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y., believe their algorithm, which they call "Adjusted Winner," can guarantee fair shares for both sides in a financial or alimony dispute.

	Center for Voting and Democracy
		Steven J. Brams, a professor of politics at New York University, thinks he knows who should choose the winners of the 74th Annual Academy Awards on March 24: the Marquis de Condorcet, an 18th-century social theorist who came up with an idea called approval voting before dying in prison during the French Revolution.
		If, instead, he is driven mostly by disdain for one of the films ó say, "Rocky," ó he can vote for all four of the other nominees.
		But speaking of John Nash, the Princeton mathematician with the beautiful mind, Professor Brams said he had discussed Condorcet with him over the years.

	Powell's Books - Biblical Games: Game Theory and the Hebrew Bible by Steven J Brams
		In this unusual book, first published by The MIT Press in 1980 and now updated with a new chapter, Steven Brams applies the mathematical theory of games to the Hebrew Bible.
		Brams's insights have application to biblical studies, the philosophy of religion, political theory, and game theory and methodology.In the new chapter, Brams surveys the literature of the past twenty years on political-strategic interpretations of the Hebrew Bible.
		Beginning with the Creation and focusing on those stories richest in conflict and intrigue, this text uses elementary game-theoretic tools to elucidate the rational calculations of biblical players, and to show precisely the manner in which they sought to achieve their goals.
