John Nash and his co Introduction He was a quirky professor at Princeton University whose students described him as a ‘world-class troll’. He was an adamant classical music lover who could whistle an entire music piece in elementary school. However, most importantly, he was one of the most beautiful mathematical minds of all time. This man was none other than John Forbes Nash Jr., an American mathematician whose work had significant impacts on various fields including economics, geometry, and social sciences. He is most known for his Nash Equilibrium, our primary focus in this essay. It was a gamechanger for game theorists, and gave insight into the complex process of decision making that applies to almost every academic field and helps explain common phenomena in our daily lives.
