First of all, RIP, John (and wife).
But, ...Roger,<br /><br />First of all, RIP, John (and wife).<br /><br />But, still, Roger, <br /><br />You are too close to the event.<br /><br />I, for one, am not (and was not) as impressed. Other advancements in maths (applied or "pure") did impress me a bit (or a lot), but not Nash's work.<br /><br />It doesn't make him a bad fellow. But I want to have him put in context. That's all. <br /><br />As I said, let him RIP. We can always talk about him later. <br /><br />It's just that there was this hype about him.<br /><br />But again, as I said, let him RIP. <br /><br />Best,<br /><br />--Ajit<br />[E&OE]<br />Ajit R.
