The Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF) annually organizes the Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF), which is a networking event for mathematicians and computer scientists from all over the world. The HLFF was established and is funded by the German foundation Klaus Tschira Stiftung (KTS), which promotes natural sciences, mathematics and computer science. The HLF is strongly supported by the award-granting institutions, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM: ACM A.M. Turing Award, ACM Prize in Computing), the International Mathematical Union (IMU: Fields Medal, IMU Abacus Medal, Nevanlinna Prize), and the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA: Abel Prize). The Scientific Partners of the HLFF are the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) and Heidelberg University.

Nash and the other students in his Princeton classes had Albert Einstein as a professor. How awesome was that!

I think his story of triumph over his schizophrenia is the most inspiring aspect of his achievements.

@@vladimirrisojevic3945 That is called getting insight! I call it the Helen keller fountain/water moment! It's the beginning of knowing! It's the beginning or realizing a problem exists! Then you can begin to find ways to keep it at bay. Yet. there may be times when even your insight may not prevent another break! Then you need medical intervention to come around and realize what has happened. Breaks can become few and far between...once you know what ..works for you.

This is one of the most informative glimpse into the life of John Nash. I saw the movie, "A beautiful mind", way back in 2006 and found it unforgettable. However, the said movie showed up as part of the learning materials in my psycho-biology class on schizophrenia this week. There is still a lot of work to do for us to understand mental illness - when the mind goes on strike! Thank you HLF.

I believe in what John Nash said about the powers of the mind..One can overcome mental health issues maybe not cure but overcome. I can relate having suffered from tourettes syndrome since childhood. I was able to overcome with channeling it into something else. most people cant even tell i have it..I physically count with my fingers and other more subtle things I do that interrupts my tourettes..That may not work for everyone, but i mastered it at a young age..

Nobel Laureate Professor Dr. John F. Nash, a heroe of Mathematics. It would be very interesting for the progress of Biological Chemistry and Pharmaceutics to look for the possibility of using Dr. Nash´s Equilibrium Game Theory for the development of new antibiotics as well as more effective chemotherapy drugs. The Game Theory may apply to better understand and predict the interaction of human physiology with new medical drugs.

@cg8397 9 ай бұрын

He had 2 sons. He abandoned his girlfriend Eleanor Stier when he got her pregnant with their son John David Stier because he considered her to be beneath him socially. Though single, Nash was unwilling to care for Eleanor or John, and John had to be placed in foster care for a time. In 1956, Eleanor was forced to hire a lawyer in order to get Nash to pay child support. Nash's second son (John Charles Martin Nash) was born from his marriage with Alicia. He inherited schizophrenia from his father.

@pollymonopoly8803 3 жыл бұрын

I don’t know all the details of that particular accident but a seat belt doesn’t make anyone immune to death. Car accidents can be especially violent, especially the kind they were involved in. And at that age, it’s debatable whether a seat belt would have changed the outcome. Going from +100kmh to 0 instantaneously is incredibly violent.

@Polly Monopoly So far as I heard, they was thrown outside the car, without a seatbelt it wouldn´t.
