MOTW - John Nash
Mathematician of the week is John Nash, born June 13th, 1928...yes, the one from the movie!
John Nash was an American mathematician who won the Nobel Prize for Economics for his work in game theory. He achieved fame through the film A Beautiful Mind.
A more thorough biography of his academics, and his struggle with schizophrenia, beyond what are depicted in the movie, and both of which are too lengthy to be summarized in any useful way, can be found here:
Disclaimer: Be forewarned, the movie VERY much sugar-coated his personal life!
