John Nash is an American mathemetician whose works in game theory, differential geometry, and partial differential equations provided insight to the forces that govern chance and events inside complex systems in daily life. His theories are still used today in market economics, computing, accounting, and military theory. Nash served as Senior Research Mathemetician at Princeton University during the latter part of his career, and shared the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with game theorists Reinhard Selten and John Harsanyi.
This sculpture was completed as part of a monument to John Nash in his birthplace of Bluefield, West Virginia, and will be erected and dedicated in 2009. These
pictures depict the progression from concept, design, clay sculpture, and finished bronze.
