John Nash, Subject Of "A Beautiful Mind", Dies In Car Crash

We just lost a beautiful mind.

Famed mathematician John Nash, who was the central focus of the film "A Beautiful Mind". sadly died yesterday in a car crash in Jersey.


I became so fascinated by the Princeton University professor after seeing the award-winning Ron Howard-directed film and began researching what he has done throughout his life. His contributions to mathematics were so great and so important, it is truly sad to see him leave, especially in an unnatural way. He was a genius but also a very troubled man, as we saw in the film, but he indeed did have a beautiful mind. The very definition of a genius.

While some many view him as crazy, I saw a genius. We all saw what this great man could do. You struggled through so much in your life, I am glad you can finally be at peace.

Thank you for contributing so much to mankind.

May you rest in peace, Professor Nash.
