Sylvia Nasar (born 17 August 1947 in Rosenheim, Germany) is a German economist and author, best known for her biography of John Forbes Nash, "A Beautiful Mind".

Early life and history

Nasar was born to a German mother and Uzbek father. Her family immigrated to the United States in 1951, then moved to Ankara, Turkey in 1960. She graduated from Antioch College in 1970, and earned a masters' degree in economics at New York University in 1976. For four years, she did research with Nobel Laureate Wassily Leontief. She is currently the Knight Chair in Business Journalism at Columbia University. Her husband is the noted economist Darryl McLeod. They have three children and live in Tarrytown, New York.

Manifold Destiny

In the August 28, 2006 "The New Yorker", Nasar's article "Manifold Destiny" contained the only interview with Grigori Perelman, who solved the Poincaré conjecture, but rejected the 2006 Fields Medal, and examined Fields Medalist S.T. Yau's response to Perelman's proof. Yau threatened to file a lawsuit, but never followed through.
