	John Nash
		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.
		His main result, the "Nash Equilibrium", was published in 1950 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
		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".

	VH1.com : Graham Nash : Biography
		Although Nash barely played on the debut CSN album, apart from guitar on "Marakesh Express" and "Lady of the Island," his voice was everywhere on that LP, his high nasal harmony singing adding distinctive twang to the group's vocal sound, and he occasionally sang a lead vocal part.
		Nash was much more successful in his participation in various anti-nuclear events and benefits during this period, including a September 1979 concert featuring such luminaries as Bruce Springsteen, that was filmed and recorded and later released as No Nukes.
		Nash's enthusiasm for the changes taking place in the music scene was matched by his appreciation of the druggy diversions of the era.

	NONALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS
		Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is described as inflammation of the liver associated with the accumulation of fat in the liver.
		In the past, the typical NASH patient was described as a middle aged, obese woman with excess sugar in the blood which may have been caused by diabetes mellitus.
		Many patients with NASH will show an increase of certain iron proteins (ferritin) in their blood, but whether this relates to any injury to their liver is unknown.

	What Makes Beautiful Minds
		Nash's thesis was just one of a spectacular string of problems that he solved before he turned 30 and the onset of delusions and hallucinations sapped his creative powers.
		"Nash would climb another mountain altogether and from a distant peak would shine a searchlight back on the first peak." Or as Nash himself put it, he tended "to think that the thing to do is to get away from what other people are doing and not to follow directly in anyone's recent work."
		When I began working on Nash's biography, I was very clear about spending most of the book telling the story of his twenties and his great burst of achievement, not his descent into madness.

	ESPN.com: NBA - Nash not backpedaling from anti-war stance
		Nash was lumped into the discussion by a reporter asking Robinson to react to statements from Mavericks guard Nick Van Exel, who said on his weekly radio show in Dallas that there's a sentiment among some players in the Mavs' locker room that President Bush's war initiative gives Americans "a bad name."
		Nash reiterated his position after drawing criticism from a Texas statesman not known for critiquing his peers: Spurs center David Robinson.
		It must be said, however, that neither Nash nor Van Exel has publicly used the word "embarrassment." That was the word presented to Robinson by the reporter asking the question.

	Sample Chapter for Nash, J.; Kuhn, H.W. and Nasar, S., eds.: The Essential John Nash.
		Yet, before Nash, economists assumed that the outcome of a two-way bargaining was determined by psychology and was therefore outside the realm of economics.
		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.
		Nash completed “Real Algebraic Manifolds,” his favorite paper and the only one he concedes is nearly perfect, in the fall of 1951 (see chapter 10).

	Nash and the Twin-Ignition Eights
		When Charles W. Nash decided to turn over the reins of his company to George Mason of the Kelvinator Company in 1937, the company was solidly anchored as a fixture in the American marketplace, and it would stay that way until Nash merged with Hudson in the mid-Fifties to form American Motors.
		Because Charles W. Nash seemed to have an uncanny ability to gauge what Americans would buy, the new Nashes were again a hit in the market, yet another success story for a company that continued to roll in substantial profits year after year.
		By 1910, Nash had worked his way into the presidency of Buick just as William Crapo Durant was using the well-established brand to lay the basis of General Motors Corporation.

	In the Beginning: Nash and Hudson
		The full-sized Nash and Hudson lines suffered from severely dwindling sales, so in the 1958 model year the Nash and Hudson names were dropped and Rambler became the sole AMC marque.

		At the Nash equilibrium they both testify (and each spend 2 years in jail), since if only one were to refuse to testify he would be punished with a longer jail sentence (3 years) based on the other's testimony.
		Nash proved that every general sum (noncooperative) game has an equilibrium: a collection of (mixed) strategies, one for each player, such that no player can improve his (expected) payoff by changing his (mixed) strategy unilaterally.
		John Nash, played by Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind, was awarded a Nobel prize for his work on noncooperative games.

	Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) -- Overview
		NASH is part of a group of liver diseases, known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, in which fat builds up in the liver and sometimes causes liver damage that gets worse over time (progressive liver damage).

		Although the cause is not known, NASH seems to be related to certain other conditions, including obesity, high cholesterol and triglycerides, and diabetes.

	Game Theory
		Nash followed this up in 1951 with the concept of a "Nash Bargaining Solution" (NBS) for coalitional games.
		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).
		The meaning of these terms are self evident, although John Nash claimed that one should be able to reduce all co-operative games into some non-cooperative form.

		It seems conceivable that if either de Giorgi or Nash had failed in the attack on this problem (of a priori estimates of Holder continuity) then that the lone climber reaching the peak would have been recognized with mathematics' Fields medal (which has traditionally been restricted to persons less than 40 years old).
		Hironaka called "the Nash blowing-up transformation"; and those of "Arc Structure of Singularities" and "Analyticity of Solutions of Implicit Function Problems with Analytic Data".
		And de Giorgi was first actually to achieve the ascent of the summit (of the figuratively described problem) at least for the particularly interesting case of "elliptic equations".
