Equilibrium and investment
The main achievements of the great mathematician John Nash: N+1
On May 23, the famous mathematician John Nash, the Nobel Prize and Abeel Prize laureate, died in the car accident - for achievements in mathematics. Nash has made a significant contribution to the theory of games and research in the field of artificial intelligence, but it is known for the wide audience, first of all, thanks to the film “The Games of the Reason”, which tells about the personal life of mathematics and its combating mental disorder. The editor -in -chief of the scientific project N+1 Andrei Konyaev studied Nash's scientific achievements and tried to explain the most simple language for what the scientist received Nobel and Abel.
Nash received the Nobel Prize for Economics for the idea of equilibrium in the theory of games, and he published his work in 1950, and he was awarded the main scientific award in 1994. After the publication of Nash's work, the game theory has gained popularity in the scientific community and entered many related areas - along with the idea of balance proposed by a mathematician.
The Abeel Award, which is called an analogue of the Nobel Prize for mathematicians, received Nash recently - in 2015. Mathematics received a prestigious award for research in the field of differential geometry; In particular, for the Nash theorem about the immersion, which, among other things, proves that flat Thor can be invested in three -dimensional space.
You can talk about Nesha differently. If desired, for example, you can retell the “games of the mind”: the story of a genius that fights with a complex ailment and wins it (more precisely, adapts to live with it) bright, understandable and easily accessible to an unprepared reader. But the legacy of the scientist is his ideas. Therefore, we will talk about two wonderful results of John Nash.
