    Hate to hear that. I remember reading somewhere that his dissertation was only 28 pages. I always thought that was interesting.

    It's been burning up my Facebook feed all morning, but that may just reflect the company I keep.

    It took some time, but it's finally made its way to CNN, BBC and NYT.

    TIME has an excellent piece here John Nash: Colleague Recalls 'Beautiful Mind' Princeton Mathematician

    Here's a JavaScript version of Nash's famous board game Hex Hex

    I've met him in person one time when I went to visit Princeton, where my daughter went to college. He still had an office there at that time (2004) and may have still right up until his untimely death for all that I know. I read the book and it differed quite a lot from the movie, but he definitely had a great mind.
