Blessings. He had an impact far beyond what he knew; we will have a series about this under the theme that has been labeled audacity.
GWU: In man there are two expressions, one is the expression of nature, the other the expression of the spiritual realm.
Nash's work has been highjacked/kidnapped in order to support the former, as in, making gaming as the basis from which we get natural outcomes like "dwarinian" methods and views.

Wikipedia has a very good listing of types of games. Nash, of course, dealt with equilibria conditions, assuming that such were pertinent. Why say that? We need to describe a "sucker"game (actually, Blaise started this - we need to update with modern parlance).

06/18/2015 -- It's too bad that "game" was chosen by the other John, von Neumann. As our friend, Albert E said, God does not play dice with the universe. Except, we might add: only to the extent to keep us humble and to insure that we cannot go past our bounds (whatever it/they might be). So, Nash's thoughts, though couched in the game theoretic senses, apply to optimization (there might be a better way to phrase, but the thing is sub-optimal - as in, only near (approximate) - I like "near zero" - implying, of course, residue, always).
Where did the idea of unity in diversity come from?
