A Beautiful Mind the Life of Mathematical Genius and Nobel Laureate John Nash
- List Price: $17.99
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Simon & Schuster
- Publish date: 12/01/2001
In a masterful blend of biography and science writing, Sylvia Nasar traces John Forbes Nash, Jr.'s rise to the heights of intellectual achievement -- his game theory, an important model for explaining and predicting human behavior, revolutionized economics -- and his harrowing descent from "eccentricity" into insanity.
Nasar brings to life both an astonishing academic community -- his colleagues at Princeton and MIT included Albert Einstein, John von Neumann, and Paul Samuelson -- and the horrific world of mental hospitals. Her poignant descriptions of Nash's "ghostlike" existence when he returned to Princeton culminate in a triumphant turnaround -- Nash's remission from schizophrenia and his recognition by the Nobel committee.
