Review
This
book is for everyone, not just the mathematicians. An almost
forgotten but brilliant mathematician plagued for over 30 years with
paranoid schizophrenia receives the Nobel Prize for a theory
he discovered 40 years previously. Nash never knew then just how important
his Game Theory would become. He is now considered the Father of Modern
Game Theory. A marvellous read, an inspiring journey. Some spark of
hope for those inflicted with Schizophrenia. |
