Muzeul matematicienilor

The purpose of our activity was to demonstrate through


a chess game the Game Theory itself, which briefly
ensembles the fact that in order to win a game you must
adapt and change your strategy according to the moves
of the other player.
John Forbes Nash Jr. (June 13, 1928 – May 23, 2015) was an
American mathematician who made fundamental contributions
to game theory, real algebraic geometry, differential geometry,
and partial differential equations.
In 2015, he and Louis Nirenberg were awarded the Abel Prize for
their contributions to the field of partial differential equations.
In 1978, Nash was awarded the John von Neumann Theory
Prize for his discovery of non-cooperative equilibria, now called
Nash Equilibria. He won the Leroy P. Steele Prize in 1999.
In 1994, he received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic
Sciences (along with John Harsanyi and Reinhard Selten) for
his game theory work as a Princeton graduate student.
