Nash Distinguished Lecture Series in Quantitative Finance

This annual lecture is named after John F. Nash Jr., who earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics in 1948 from Carnegie Institute of Technology and his doctoral degree from Princeton in 1950. In 1994 Nash, along with John Harsanyi and Reinhard Selten, received the Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his pioneering analysis of equilibria in the theory of non-cooperative games. This work, sometimes called the Nash Equilibrium, has greatly influenced research in economics and finance.
