Autobiography Of Prof. Jonh Forbes Nash, Jr

Saya tidak tau sebelumnya Prof. Nash, siapa dia..? Setelah saya nonton Film Beautiful Mind, saya baru tau kalau knepa saya tertarik memposting tentang Prof. Nash.

Pernah ngak nonton film sese-bingung nonton film Beautiful mind, saya terusterang bingung pertama nonton film ini, apa maksudnya...? Ini sedikit history of Pro. Nash yang say ambil dari wikipedia.

Jonh Forbes Nash, Jr. (born june 13, 1928), is an American Mathematican And Economist whose works in game theory, diferential geometry, and partila diferential equations provided a basis for successive reserch across of disciplines and mathematical in sight into the forces that govern chance and events inside complex system in daily life; his theoies are still used today in market economics, computing, accaounting and military theory.

Serving as a Senior Research Mathematician at Princenton University for the latter part of his life he shared the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences whit game theorists Reinhard Selten aand Jonh Harsanyi.

Nash was born and raised in Bluefield, West Virginia. He was born to electrical engineer John Forbes Nash and his wife Margaret Virginia Martin, an English and Latin teacher. On November 16, 1930 his sister Martha Nash was born. He was an avid reader of Compton’s Pictures Encyclopedia, Life Magazine, and Time Magazine. Later he had a job at the Bluefield Daily Telegraph.

At the age of twelve, he carried out scientific experiments in his room. At a young age, he already preferred to work alone. He returned the social rejection of his classmates with practical jokes and intellectual superiority, believing their dances and sports to be a distraction from his experiments and studies.

Martha, his younger sister, wrote about him that "Johnny was always different. My parents knew he was different. And they knew he was bright. He always wanted to do things his way. Mother insisted I do things for him, that I include him in my friendships... but I wasn't too keen on showing off my somewhat odd brother.

In his autobiography, Nash notes that it was E.T.Bell's book, Men of Mathematics-in particular, the essay on Fermat—that first sparked his interest in mathematics. He attended classes at Bluefield College while still in high school at Bluefield High School. He later attended the Carnegie Institute Of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on a Westinghouse scholarship, where he studied first chemical engineering and later chemistry before switching to mathematics. He received both his bachelor's degree and his master's degree in 1948 while at Carnegie Tech.

Nash also created two popular games: Hex in 1947 (independently created first in 1942 by Piet Hein), and So Long Sucker in 1950 with M.Housner and Lloyd S.Shapley.

After graduation, Nash took a summer job in White Oak, Maryland, working on a Navy research project being run by Clifford Truesdell.
