About This Book
The Life of Mathematical Genius and Nobel Laureate John Nash
How could you, a mathematician, believe that extraterrestrials were
sending you messages?" the visitor from Harvard asked the West Virginian
with the movie-star looks and Olympian manner.
"Because the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same
way my mathematical ideas did," came the answer. "So I took them
seriously."
Thus begins the true story of John Nash, the mathematical genius who was
a legend by age thirty when he slipped into madness, and who -- thanks
to the selflessness of a beautiful woman and the loyalty of the
mathematics community -- emerged after decades of ghostlike existence to
win a Nobel Prize and world acclaim. The inspiration for a major motion
picture, Sylvia Nasar's award-winning biography is a drama about the
mystery of the human mind, triumph over incredible adversity, and the
healing power of love.
