John Forbes Nash Jr. (1928 – 2015) was an American mathematician who was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize for Economics.
Nash made fundamental contributions to game theory, differential geometry, and the study of partial differential equations – which have influenced our modern understanding of the economic principles that govern decision-making and chance in everyday life.
Nash showed that for any finite game, the players will arrive at an optimal outcome (the Nash equilibrium) when considering the possible actions of other players.
