The document summarizes John Forbes Nash Jr., a mathematician who made fundamental contributions to game theory and differential geometry. It notes that the purpose of an activity was to demonstrate game theory through a chess game by adapting strategies based on the opponent's moves. It also lists some of Nash's accomplishments, including winning the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1994 for his game theory work as a Princeton graduate student and receiving the Abel Prize in 2015 for his contributions to partial differential equations.

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.
