New Delhi: Nobel laureate, American mathematician whose works in game theory, differential geometry, and partial differential equations provided insight into complex systems of chance in daily life died in a car crash on Sunday.
The scholar and his wife died in a car accident in a taxi on the New Jersey Turnpike when the driver lost control and crashed into a guard rail, said New Jersey State Police to a leading international daily. He was 86.
Nash's story inspired the Academy Award winning film 'A Beautiful Mind' which starred Russel Crowe. The actor took to Twitter to express his shock and dismay.
Stunned...my heart goes out to John & Alicia & family. An amazing partnership. Beautiful minds, beautiful hearts. https://t.co/XF4V9MBwU4
