A Brief History of John Nash (A Beautiful Mind)

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.
