2002年8月20日,第24届国际数学家大会在北京召开。前来参会的著名理论物理学家史蒂芬·霍金以及著名数学家约翰·纳什一下子成众多媒体的聚焦点,在与会的4000余位中外顶尖数学家中,他们两位无疑是最为耀眼的科学明星。与霍金不同的是,74岁的纳什曾经有30多年的时间饱受精神分裂症的折磨。纳什因作为第74届奥斯卡金像奖最佳影片《美丽心灵》主人公的原型而为公众知晓。他在30岁以前提出的“博弈论”(即纳什均衡论)这一数学理论,对经济学和政
August 20, 2002, the 24th International Conference of Mathematicians held in Beijing. The famous theoretic physicist Stephen Hawking and the well-known mathematician John Nash suddenly became the focal point of numerous media. Among the 4,000 top and middle-level mathematicians attending the meeting, they are undoubtedly the most dazzling scientific stars . Unlike Hawking, 74-year-old Nash has been suffering from schizophrenia for more than 30 years. Nash is known to the public for being the prototype of the protagonist of the “Beautiful Mind”, the best film in the 74th Academy Awards. He put forward before the age of 30 “game theory ” (that is, Nash equilibrium theory), the mathematical theory of economics and politics
