John Forbes Nash is math genius
as the book describes “inventor of a theory of rational behavior, visionary of
the thing machine.” John Nash is the unique in the world. He faced everything
existed on the world with strongly skeptical attitude because he was so
extremely rational and independent that he judged every with mathematical
methods in daily life. Once time, he even asked a person why he said greeting
words to him. When he was young, he was surrounded by many gifted scientists
like Albert Einstein and John von Neumann, but he never followed one of them,
instead of that, insist to work in his own way.
His thought was totally different from others. He did not think in a
common way as normal people, but in a way that did not have any logical rule to
follow and even came from an imagination sometimes. Just like Donald Newman
said “Everyone else would climb a peak by looking for a path somewhere on the
mountain. John Nash would climb another mountain altogether and from that
distant peak would shine a searchlight back onto the first peak” He was like a
recluse in this world because he never got along with his colleagues even they worked
together all the time.
People who knew him all thought him like a ghost, isolated and weird. To
those judgments, John Nash chose to pay all attention to what he believed in or
forced on.
John Nash contributed so much to the math world. Although he was expert
on math, but he did not think so, and he paid more attention on those “small”
details ignored by other math experts. In addition, he founded a mutually
beneficial theory in the game theory which even Neumann could not find that.
Late, because of the broke his chaos private life, he got paranoid
schizophrenia and was forced to diagnose. This schizophrenia was hardly
recovered. John Nash started to believe he could understand lots of things like
numbers on the newspaper that other could not understand.
During the 70s and 80s, he started to search other fields like religions
and math magazines.
