我第一次知道John Nash,是在1979年。中国的学分制在母校作试点,那年我选的选修课是:人功智能,信息论,控制论和博弈论。博弈论老师的开场白就是:1950年, John Nash在他的博士论文中提出了均衡论,奠基了现代博弈论的研究。从此,John Nash和博弈论就在我的大脑里划上了分不开的等号。
John Forbes Nash, Jr. was an American mathematician whose works in game theory, differential geometry, and partial differential equations have provided insight into the factors that govern chance and events inside complex systems in daily life.
