Robert Duncan Luce (May 16, 1925 –

August 11, 2012) was an American mathematician and social

scientist, and one of the most preeminent figures in the field of mathematical psychology.

At the end of his life, he held the position of Distinguished Research

Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of California,

Irvine. Luce

received a Bachelor of Science degree

in Aeronautical of Technology in 1945, and PhD in Mathematics from the same university in 1950 under Irvin S. Cohen with thesis On Semigroups. He began

his professorial career at Columbia University in

1954, where he was an assistant professor in mathematical statistics and

sociology. Following a lecturership at Harvard University from

1957 to 1959, he became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania in

1959, and was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Professorship of Psychology in

1968. After visiting the Institute for Advanced

Study beginning in 1969, he joined the UC Irvine faculty in

1972, but returned to Harvard in 1976 as Alfred North Whitehead Professor of

Psychology and then later as Victor S. Thomas Professor of Psychology. In 1988

Luce rejoined the UC Irvine faculty as Distinguished Professor of Cognitive

Sciences and (from 1988 to 1998) director of UCI's Institute for Mathematical

Behavioral Sciences. Luce

was elected to the National

Academy of Sciences in 1972 for his work on fundamental

measurement, utility theory, global psychophysics, and mathematical behavioral

sciences. He received the 2003 National Medal of Science in

behavioral and social science for his contributions to the field of

mathematical psychology. Contributions

for which Luce is known include formulating Luce's choice axiom formalizing

the principle that additional options should not affect the probability of

selecting one item over another, defining semiorders, introducing graph-theoretic methods into the social sciences, and

coining the term "clique" for a

complete subgraph in graph theory.
