	John Nash (architect) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Nash (1752 – 13 May 1835) was an English architect responsible for much of the layout of Regency London.
		Nash did not complete all the detailed designs himself; in some instances, completion was left in the hands of other architects such as James Pennethorne and the young Decimus Burton.
		Nash was also a director of the Regent's Canal Company set up in 1812 to provide a canal link from west London to the River Thames in the east.

	John Forbes Nash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On June 13, 1928, John Forbes Nash was born in the small Appalachian town of Bluefield, West Virginia, the son of John Nash Sr., an electrical engineer, and Virginia Martin, a teacher.
		Alicia committed Nash to a mental hospital in 1959 for paranoid schizophrenia; their son John Charles Martin was born soon afterward but remained nameless for a year because she felt that John should have a say in the name.
		Nash's hallucinations were exclusively auditory, and not both visual and auditory as shown in the film.

	Nash Equilibrium
		A Nash Equilibrium is a set of mixed strategies for finite, non-cooperative games between two or more players whereby no player can improve his or her payoff by changing their strategy.
		Many of Nash's contemporaries refer to him as a (post)modern day 'genius' for his reformations to some of Adam Smith's views on Economics and when considering his more personal characteristics, including his unorthodox teaching and research procedures, and his past experiences with schizophrenia.
		John Nash can be credited against astonishing odds with making a normative distinction between cooperative and non-cooperative games, and for using mathematical models to support and exemplify his research.

	John Nash: Genius, Nobel and Schizophrenia
		The Phantom was John Nash, one of the most brilliant mathematicians of his generation, who had spiraled into schizophrenia in the 1950s.
		Nash was a mathematical genius whose 27-page dissertation, "Non-Cooperative Games," written in 1950 when he was 21, would be honored with the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994.
		However, Nash himself associated his madness with his living on an "ultralogical" plane, "breathing air too rare" for most mortals, and if being "cured" meant he could no longer do any original work at that level, then, Nash argued, a remission might not be worthwhile in the end.

	John Nash, Regency Architect
		John Nash (1752-1835) was the son of a millwright, but he cast aside his father's profession and apprenticed with architect Sir Robert Taylor.
		Nash was dillatory in his work however (and erected and pulled down several wings of the building according to his moods), that the Prince Regent died before work was finished.
		Nash was finally dismissed from the project, and all that remains of his work at the palace is the west wing.

		In 1970 Alicia Nash, believing she had made a mistake by originally committing her husband, took him in again, this time as her "boarder," a move that might have prevented his homelessness.
		Nash has returned to an office at Princeton, where he continues to explore mathematics, the world in which he first succeeded, the world that carried him during his debilitating illness, and the world that has embraced him again.

	PNAS Classics -- Game Theory
		Nash believed that the right approach was to focus on individual decision-making, because choosing to join a coalition can simply be considered as one of the potential strategies at a player's disposal.
		For such a game, Nash defined an equilibrium to be a set of strategies, one for each player, such that no player would benefit from unilaterally changing his strategy while the other players stick to their equilibrium strategies.
		Nash's fellow student and current Academy Member David Gale, however, was impressed by Nash's work and urged him to "plant a flag" by publishing his proof as quickly as possible in PNAS.

	Sample Chapter for Nash, J.; Kuhn, H.W. and Nasar, S., eds.: The Essential John Nash.
		John Milnor, the topologist, who was a freshman that year, said, “It was as if he wanted to rediscover, for himself, three hundred years of mathematics.” Always on the lookout for a shortcut to fame, Nash would corner visiting lecturers, clipboard and writing pad in hand.
		Nash’s theory of games—especially his notion of equilibrium for such games (now known as Nash equilibrium)—significantly extended the boundaries of economics as a discipline.
		John Conway, the Princeton mathematician who discovered surreal numbers, calls Nash’s result “one of the most important pieces of mathematical analysis in this century.” Nash’s theorem stated that any kind of surface that embodied a special notion of smoothness could actually be embedded in a Euclidean space.

		Nash explains what he is going to do before he does it, and this serves to motivate the constructions that he employs.
		John Nash was the subject of the recent hit movie, "A Beautiful Mind." However, that is almost totally due to the human interest aspects of his battle with paranoid schizophrenia rather than his mathematics.

	Game Theory
		John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern (1944) introduced the strategic normal game, strategic extensive game, the concept of pure/mixed strategies, coalitional games as well as the axiomatization of expected utility theory, which was so useful for economics under uncertainty.
		In 1950, John Nash introduced the concept of a "Nash Equilibrium" (NE), which became the organizing concept under Game Theory -- even though the concept actually stretched as far back as Cournot (1838).
		John C. Harsanyi (1973) provided a remarkably insightful new interpretation of the concept of a "mixed strategy".

		But as Sylvia Nasar notes in her biography of Nash, on which the movie is loosely based, this brilliant mathematician stopped taking antipsychotic drugs in 1970 and slowly recovered over two decades.

		The film recasts Nash's personal story of redemption as an example of how important drugs are to any reclamation of one's life, instead of an inspiring account of how people can overcome the most oppressive treatments and severe psychological distress with their own resources and support systems.
