'Beautiful Mind' Mathematician John Nash Killed In Crash

John Nash Jr., the Nobel Prize winning mathematician whose life story inspired the film, A Beautiful Mind, was killed in a car accident along with his wife over the weekend. The couple’s taxi cab hit a guardrail in the US state of New Jersey, instantly killing 86-year-old Nash and his 82-year-old wife Alicia.

Mr. Nash won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1994 for his influential work on game theory and differential equations. He later became the subject of an Oscar-winning film starring Russell Crow, which depicted a brilliant mathematician who refused to let his paranoid schizophrenia stop him from advancing in the field.

Nash had just returned from Oslo, where he received the Abel Prize from the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters for his groundbreaking scientific work.


Speaking in 2012, Nash said receiving the Nobel Prize truly validated his widely-respected work.
