The Gale-Shapley algorithm, published in 1962 by David Gale and Lloyd Shapley, solves the stable matching problem — pairing two groups so no two participants would rather be with each other than their assigned match. It earned the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2012 and is used in areas like school admissions and medical residency placements. Discussion is revisiting how it works and why it remains relevant.
