May 24, 2015 · Nobel Prize-winning mathematician John F. Nash, Jr., died in a car crash yesterday. He was 86. Nash revolutionized the study of game theory, or strategic decision-making.
The best way to understand the importance of Nash’s contributions is by comparing the state of game theory just after publication of von Neumann and Morgenstern’s book in 1944 with its state after publication of Nash’s four papers in 1953.
