  • In the film A Beautiful Mind, John Nash and his buddies, all of them graduate students in mathematics at Princeton University, are sitting in a smoky bar when a group of women walk in. As the men tease each other about their chances, Nash is struck with inspiration, whether there is a logical, mathematical way of working cut the best strategy for each man getting a date. Next thing people know they're shambling out of the bar, and spends the night furiously scribbling unfathomable-looking equations. Here, Cossins discusses the science of strategic thinking.
