  • In this episode, we cover the history of John Forbes Nash, a 20th and 21st century American mathematician who made fundamental contributions differential geometry, game theory, and partial differential equations. He got diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1959, and learned overtime how to deal with his delusions by essentially ignoring them.

    WOW!! He simply willed the disease to the side, and ignored the voices and thoughts. That’s amazing. That’s damn near superhuman. I wish I could do that.

      I think he was able to do this due to his overwhelming obsession with his work as well as an apparently well established family support system. There should be studies on this frankly it seems like it would help a lot of people.

    The biography is very detailed and does not gloss over some of the aspects not seen in the movie. It was the best book I have read in many years - I can recommend it. It also deals with his recovery from schizophrenia in more detail.

    I've watched every single video you have made. They're all amazing and I always get excited to see a new one. I really enjoy that unlike other people you touch on the actual technical contributions of the mathematicians / scientist and not just their personal lives.
    I would really to see a video on Hardy and Littlewood, Feynman, Banach or the Bourbaki Group.

      Thanks, Angel! ☺The history isn't complete if you don't dig into some of the technical imo. I'm always hoping it encourages people to look further.
      I have all of those folks (+ group) in my backlog already, and am hoping to get to some, if not all, next year.

      Mathematics is the language of the exact sciences as well as the only discipline where ALL assertions are established through rigorous logical arguments. There would be no modern technology without mathematics.

      There would be no most things without mathematics. Music, engineering, architecture, really anything that requires thought is going to require math.​@@barneyronnie

      ​@@user-pk3px8gs8z - As an award-winning local playwright whose "career" has never soared, and as a math-phobic STEM-phobe since high school, I can truthfully state from life experience that there is an entire world of profound thought that NEVER embraces or even approaches math.

    What about Nash's one-sentence letter-of-recommendation document from his Carnegie Mellon professor? That same document which brougt him to Princton, with less effort spent on the process of applying and getting accepted to a very prestigious school!

    Nash as a child sounds like a downright psychotic serial killer in the making.
    Aside, I’m not sure who this video is intended for, but much of what you talk about regarding Nash will go right over the head of 99% of your audience.

    John Nash should have been wise enough to use a safety belt, but alas RIP. A great (yet disturbed) mind who became a PSA (Public Service Announcement). Not something, I hope to do.

    Can a person become sick just because of being a genius

    • @moderndaymath
      @moderndaymath  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Don't think so. One has to consider many factors surrounding mental illness. Example factors: A predisposition to mental illness, undue stress, trauma, etc.
      That being said, there's definitely stories of folks labeled "genius" having social difficulties, for instance, which in turn could negatively impact their mental health (e.g. undue stress + lack of proper coping)

    Hate to say but he was not that great as opposed to hundreds of others.
    The movie just made him more notable...that's all
