| May 25, 2015 at 11:01 | comment | added | Manfred Weis | On May 19th John Nash, together with Louis Nirenberg, received the Abel price; I wonder why that hasn't been mentioned so far. | |
| May 25, 2015 at 8:05 | comment | added | Kimball | @ToddTrimble Yes, that's a nice interview. Later in the interview, Gromov's also says this nice quote (still talking about Nash): At least, his work in geometry was contrary to what everybody would expect, concerning the results, the techniques, the ideas he used. He did various matters in an extremely simple way, so that everybody could see it but nobody would believe it could work. | |
| May 25, 2015 at 0:33 | comment | added | Suvrit | I hope somebody with more expertise chimes up and summarizes Nash's work on cooperative games (I had the fortune to attend a talk by him in 2008 where he carefully described his cooperative games model, he almost expressed a personal relation with each of the variables on his slides)... | |

| May 24, 2015 at 20:48 | comment | added | Dan Ramras | It is interesting to note that there was actually an error in Nash's original proof of the embedding result, as Nash discusses on his webpage: web.math.princeton.edu/jfnj/texts_and_graphics/Main.Content/… | |

| May 24, 2015 at 17:13 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | I'm wondering if anyone could comment on Nash's work after winning the Nobel Prize? It seems he was trying to do something with logic, but I wasn't able to get the gist of it. | |

| May 24, 2015 at 16:36 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | That's an impressive quote from Gromov. Elsewhere (ams.org/notices/201003/rtx100300391p.pdf) there is another impressive quote: "Raussen and Skau: This means that you read Nash’s work and were impressed by it very early? Gromov: Yes, I read it very carefully. And I still believe I am the only person who read his papers from the beginning to the end. By judging what people have written about it afterwards, I do not think they have read it." (Hat tip to user5831 here: mathoverflow.net/a/60137/2926) | |
