A Beautiful Mind, 由 John Nash Jr. 的故事講起

張德健教授Georgetown University 11:00-12:00 鴻經館M107

Abstract:

In this talk, the speaker begins with the story of one of his teachers, Professor John Nash Jr., who was a faculty member in the Mathematics Department at Princeton University. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994 and the Abel Prize in 2015 for his outstanding career achievements. The Abel Prize is one of the most prestigious awards in mathematics, honoring lifetime contributions to the field. Professor Nash made significant contributions to geometric analysis, partial differential equations, and game theory, which have profoundly influenced not only mathematics and physics but also the real world. In this presentation, the speaker aims to explain Nash's work at an expository level. Furthermore, the speaker seeks to use Nash's example to encourage students and young researchers to consider a deeper question: "Which is more important: a beautiful mind or a beautiful heart?"
