New Delhi, May 25 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has condoled the passing of noted US mathematician John F Nash Jr.
"An intellectual powerhouse with a long lasting contribution to mathematics, John Nash will be remembered forever. RIP Alicia and John Nash," Modi said.

Nash Jr. passed away in a car crash with his wife in New Jersey, media reports said.
 
John F. Nash Jr. was 86 when he breathed his last in the accident.
 
Born on June 13, 1928, he was an American mathematician whose works in game theory, differential geometry, and partial differential equations have provided insight into the factors that govern chance and events inside complex systems in daily life.
 
His theories are used in economics, computing, evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, accounting, politics and military theory.
 
He had won  the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1994.
 
In 1959, Nash was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and was committed to a number of psychiatric hospitals for treatment.
 
Nash's struggles with his illness and his recovery became the basis for Sylvia Nasar's biography A Beautiful Mind as well as a feature film starring actor Russell Crowe.
