US mathematician John Nash was killed along side his wife in a taxi crash in New Jersey. Nash is best known for his work in game theory which lead him to be awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize for Economics. He is also more popularly known for the man who inspired the film 'A Beautiful Mind'.

 

Nash battled with schizophrenia along side mathematics.

 

I know Nash's work in differential geometry; his famous theorem states 'every Riemannian manifold can be isometrically embedded into some Euclidean space'.

 

Our thoughts are with his friends and family.
