Rest In Peace John Forbes Nash

Here is a special post about the death of the mathematician, John Forbes Nash. While he is most well known for his theory in the field of game theory, most notably the non-cooperative game and the Nash equilibrium, he also published papers in the field of partial differential equations and geometry. While his theories in the field of game theory are quite impressive and has had an enormous impact from disciplines such as economics and biology, his works on pure mathematics are not to be underestimated. He had been traveling back from Norway after receiving the Abel Prize in Mathematics from the King of Norway. Up to this date, he is the only mathematician to have won the Nobel Prize, which is says something about the versatility of his intellect. I will go to sleep tonight reading his brilliant 27 page dissertation that is among one of my favorite math-related literature. He will surely be remembered for his brilliance in the field of economics and mathematics and not just for the fame that the Academy Award-winning movie that Russell Crowe starred in had brought him.
