John Forbes Nash Jr.: A Beautiful Mind

Lecture fail

1959
Columbia University, New York, U.S.

Nash's psychological issues crossed into his professional life when he gave an American Mathematical Society lecture at Columbia University in 1959. Originally intended to present proof of the Riemann hypothesis, the lecture was incomprehensible. Colleagues in the audience immediately realized that something was wrong.
