“This biography, though maybe interesting to a person who majored in math or understands all of what Nash worked on better, was pretty jumpy overall. I don't feel like I got a full span of his life, just a summary of all of his math theories, that you could read elsewhere, when I really wanted more depth into his life. The parts that did divulge into his life more were SO interesting that I wanted more of those and less of the math. I know his life was proving theories, but I feel like some of them should've been explained in a more basic way so we grasped the concept, or been skimmed over. Going into more depth about his mental illlness and other aspects of his life may have provided more of a view into his life.”
