	Review of "A beautiful mind" by Sylvia Nasar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A few of John Nash's ideas, developed while he was a graduate student at Princeton from 1948 to 1950, transformed the field of game theory, and led to major developments in economic, political, and biological theories.
		In the words of John Milnor, it is "a drastic violation of the privacy of its subject" (1998, p.
		Milnor writes "Evidently, Nash's theory was not a finished answer to the problem of understanding competitive situations." Nasar omits the sentence that follows: "Rather, it was a starting point, which has led to much further study during the intervening years".

		Milnor was awarded the Fields Medal (the mathematical equivalent of a Nobel Prize) in 1962 for his work in differential topology.
		All of Milnor's works are written in a fashion that "makes it clear", except that sometimes years of thought are really needed to see the essence of the arguments.
		Along with Milnor's Lectures on the h-Cobordism Theorem, and his Characteristic Classes, this book is a lesson not only in topology (and wonderful topology, too!), but in clear writing as well.

	Fary-Milnor theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The work of Fary and Milnor was independent.
		Legend has it that John Milnor was asleep in his math class at Princeton University when the professor wrote three unsolved knot theory problems on the board, one of which was the Fary-Milnor Theorem.
		Milnor, who was still an undergraduate, woke up at the end of class and wrote them down thinking they were assigned as homework.

	John Nash
		When the 21-year old John Nash wrote his 27-page dissertation outlining his "Nash Equilibrium" for strategic non-cooperative games, the impact was enormous.
		When the young Nash had applied to graduate school at Princeton in 1948, his old Carnegie Tech professor, R.J. Duffin, wrote only one line on his letter of recommendation: "This man is a genius".
		It was at Princeton that Nash encountered the theory of games, then recently launched by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern.

		John Milnor, a Princeton undergraduate in the late 1940's, recalled in 1995 what Nash was like at that time:
		(According to Martin Gardner, some of the students also referred to the game as John, because it was often played on the hexagonal tiles of bathroom floors.) The game soon became popular with mathematics students at Princeton, the Institute for Advanced Study, and other university mathematics centers.

		Anyway, it's the quaternionic version of the Hopf bundle that serves as the inspiration for Milnor's construction of exotic 7-spheres.
		Now, with quite a bit more work, you can show that smooth structures on the n-sphere form an group under connected sum - the operation of chopping out a small hole in two spheres and gluing them together - and you can show that this group is Z/28 for n = 7.
