From economics to quantum physics, game theory makes its mark.(The Dallas Morning News)
|
Byline: Tom Siegfried
Millions of people have seen the movie, and thousands have read the book, but few fully grasp the math invented by John Nash's beautiful mind.
Nash, the troubled mathematician played on film by Russell Crowe, won the 1994 Nobel Prize in economics for pioneering research in the 1950s on an arcane branch of math called game theory.
For decades, few researchers outside economics paid much attention to game theory. But in the 1980s, some biologists began having fun with it, and now scientists from other disciplines are learning how to play as well.
