After a promising start to his mathematical career, Nash began to suffer from schizophrenia around the age of 29, an illness from which he recovered some thirty years later.

From June 1945-June 1948 Nash studied at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh (now Carnegie Mellon University), intending to become an engineer like his father. Instead, he developed a deep love for mathematics and what became a lifelong interest in subjects such as number theory, Diophantine equations, quantum mechanics and relativity theory.
