Features: This book recreates the legendary life of American mathematical genius John Forbes Nash Jr. Before the age of 30, he solved a series of mathematically recognized problems, becoming a dazzling star. Thereafter, he suffered a catastrophic mental breakdown, becoming a ghost figure at Princeton scribbling mad mathematical prophecies on blackboards, nearly forgotten by the world, until he came to his senses and won the Nobel Prize.
