He began research at Princeton after graduating and, in 1953 before completing his doctoral studies, he was appointed to the faculty in Princeton. In 1954 Milnor received his doctorate for his thesis Isotopy of Links written under Ralph Fox's supervision. Milnor remained on the staff at Princeton where he was an Alfred P Sloan fellow from 1955 until 1959. He was promoted to professor in 1960 then, in 1962, Milnor was appointed to the Henry Putman chair. Milnor was awarded a Fields Medal at the 1962 International Congress of Mathematicians in Stockholm. His most remarkable achievement, which played a major role in the award of the Fields Medal, was his proof that a 7-dimensional sphere can have several differential structures. This work opened up the new field of differential topology Milnor showed that 28 different differentiable structures exist on the seven-dimensional sphere. He distinguished between these structures using numerical invariants based on the

31. Review Of "A Beautiful Mind" By Sylvia Nasar In the words of john milnor, it is a drastic violation of the privacy of In a review of Nasar s book, john milnor writes Mathematical statements and http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~osborne/misc/nasar.htm

Review of A beautiful mind by Sylvia Nasar by Martin J. Osborne A few of John Nash's ideas, developed while he was a graduate student at Princeton from 1948 to 1950, transformed the field of game theory, and led to major developments in economic, political, and biological theories. Nash subsequently turned to other areas of mathematics, where he made enormous contributions. In his early 30s, he started to experience delusions and was diagnosed a "paranoid schizophrenic". He spent time in mental hospitals, enduring treatments painful to read about. His "schizophrenic" episodes were interspersed with periods of "enforced rationality" (his own term (Nash 1995, 278)). Eventually, in his 60s, the latter periods came to dominate the former. In 1994 he shared with Reinhard Selten and John Harsanyi the Nobel Prize in Economics (officially, the "Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Honor of Alfred Nobel"). A biography of Nash has the potential to enlighten the reader in several directions. What is game theory? What was the significance of Nash's contributions? How did he come upon these ideas? What was the significance of his subsequent work in mathematics? How did he come to be diagnosed as a "paranoid schizophrenic"? How did society treat such a person in the 1960s and 1970s? Is there any relation between Nash's creativity and his subsequent "schizophrenic" behavior? Sylvia Nasar's A beautiful mind (Simon and Schuster, 1998) explores some of these questions, and at its best provides considerable enlightenment. Its greatest success is a discussion of Nash's "illness": the treatments he had to endure, the support of his friends, his ambivalence to his return to "rationality". Nasar went to considerable lengths to find out what happened to Nash during this period; her discussion is sensitive and thought-provoking. Her style is reportorial rather than analytical, but she raises many significant issues.

32. John Nash When the 21year old john Nash wrote his 27-page dissertation outlining his Mind (Real Audio file); john milnor s john Nash and a Beautiful Mind , http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/nash.htm

John F. Nash, 1928- When the 21-year old John Nash wrote his 27-page dissertation outlining his "Nash Equilibrium" for strategic non-cooperative games, the impact was enormous. On the formal side, his existence proof was one of the first applications of Kakutani's fixed-point theorem later employed with so much gusto by Neo-Walrasians everywhere; on the conceptual side, he spawned much of the literature on non-cooperative game theory which has since grown at a prodigious rate - threatening, some claim, to overwhelm much of economics itself. When the young Nash had applied to graduate school at Princeton in 1948, his old Carnegie Tech professor, R.J. Duffin, wrote only one line on his letter of recommendation: "This man is a genius". It was at Princeton that Nash encountered the theory of games, then recently launched by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern . However, they had only managed to solve non-cooperative games in the case of "pure rivalries" (i.e. zero-sum). The young Nash turned to rivalries with mutual gain. His trick was the use of best-response functions and a recent theorem that had just emerged - Kakutani's fixed point-theorem. His main result, the "Nash Equilibrium", was published in 1950 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He followed this up with a paper which introduced yet another solution concept - this time for two-person cooperative games - the "Nash Bargaining Solution" (NBS) in 1950. A 1951 paper attached his name to yet another side of economics - this time, the "Nash Programme", reflecting his methodological call for the reduction of all cooperative games into a non-cooperative framework.

Next: Erdos Number Up: Human Interest Previous: Indiana bill sets the Fields Medal Historical Introduction This is the original letter by Fields creating the endowment for the medals that bear his name. It is thought to have been written during the few months before his death. Notice that no mention is made about the age of the recipients (currently there is a 40 year-old limit), and that the medal should not be attached to any person, private or public, meaning that it shouldn't bear anybody's name. It is proposed to found two gold medals to be awarded at successive International Mathematical Congress for outstanding achievements in mathematics. Because of the multiplicity of the branches of mathematics and taking into account the fact that the interval between such congresses is four years it is felt that at least two medals should be available. The awards would be open to the whole world and would be made by an International Committee. The fund for the founding of the medals is constituted by balance left over after financing the Toronto congress held in 1924. This must be held in trust by the Government or by some body authorized by government to hold and invest such funds. It would seem that a dignified method for handling the matter and one which in this changing world should most nearly secure permanency would be for the Canadian Government to take over the fund and appoint as his custodian say the Prime Minister of the Dominion or the Prime Minister in association with the Minister of Finance. The medals would be struck at the Mint in Ottawa and the duty of the custodian would be simply to hand over the medals at the proper time to the accredited International Committee.

A Morse function is also an expression for an anharmonic oscillator In differential topology , the techniques of Morse theory give a very direct way of analyzing the topology of a manifold by studying differentiable functions on that manifold. According to the basic insights of Marston Morse , a differentiable function on a manifold will, in a typical case, reflect the topology quite directly. Morse theory allows one to find CW structures and handle decompositions on manifolds and to obtain substantial information about their homology .
