Stories of famously eccentric Princetonians abound - such as that of chemist Hubert Alyea, the model for The Absent-Minded Professor, or Ralph Nader, said to have had his own key to the library as an undergraduate. Or the "Phantom of Fine Hall," a figure many students had seen shuffling around the corridors of the math and physics building wearing purple sneakers and writing numerology treatises on the blackboards.
The Phantom was John Nash, one of the most brilliant mathematicians of his generation, who had spiraled into schizophrenia in the 1950s. His most important work had been in game theory, which by the 1980s was underpinning a large part of economics. When the Nobel Prize committee began debating a prize for game theory, Nash's name inevitably came up--only to be dismissed, since the prize clearly could not go to a madman. But in 1994 Nash, in remission from schizophrenia, shared the Nobel Prize in economics for work done some 45 years previously. John Forbes Nash, Jr. a prodigy and legend by the age of 30, dazzled the mathematical world by solving a series of deep problems deemed "impossible" by other mathematicians.
But at the height of his fame, Nash suffered a catastrophic mental breakdown and began a harrowing descent into insanity, resigning his post at MIT, slipping into a series of bizarre delusions, and eventually becoming a dreamy, ghostlike figure at Princeton, scrawling numerological messages on blackboards. He was all but forgotten by the outside world - until, remarkably, he emerged from his madness to win the Nobel Prize.
Книга рассказывает о жизни Джона Нэша — математика, лауреата Нобелевской премии по экономике 1994 года. В течение жизни этот человек развил новое направление в математике - теорию игр, за что получил Нобелевскую премию. Жанр - биографическая повесть или, еще точнее, документальный роман, поскольку помимо описания судьбы главного героя нашли отражение исторические события, касающиеся развития экономики и математики, работы Нобелевского комитета, противостояния супердержав в период холодной войны. Книга представляет огромный интерес всем, кто интересуется экономикой, теорией игр, психиатрией. Доступный стиль изложения, красивый английский язык остались таковыми и в аудио версии.
