A Beautiful Mind: The Life of Mathematical Genius and Nobel Laureate John Nash

After the book, the Nasar interviews on NPR, the audiobook and the movie,
I believe most non-math majors will get more out
of the biography if they read (or listen to) the
book after seeing the movie, even if they had
already read the book first.

The story is important, it would be fun to share a condensed version with all the young people I know.

One thing we don't grasp about the new publication... why is What's-his-name's photo on the cover, rather than John Nash's?
