John Forbes Nash Jr. (1928–2015) was an American mathematician renowned for his contributions to game theory, differential geometry, and partial differential equations. He is perhaps best known for the Nash equilibrium, a concept in game theory that describes a situation in which no player can benefit from changing their strategy while the other players keep theirs unchanged. This concept has far-reaching implications in economics, evolutionary biology, and other fields.
