Question:

In the film A beautiful mind When told of his winning the noble prize-- why did everone give prof Nash a pen?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The "Pen ceremony" in which mathematics professors present pens to Nash was just made up for the movie. No such ceremony exists. What it symbolizes is that Nash was accepted and recognized in the mathematics community for his accomplishments, in the same way that the old professor was recognized early in the movie when Nash was a young man.
