Sylvia Nasar (born on August 17, 1947 in Rosenheim, Bavaria) is an American journalist and author, known for her biography A Beautiful Mind, which chronicles the life of mathematician and economist John Forbes Nash Jr. This book earned her the National Book Critics Circle Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize

Nasar grew up in Germany and Turkey, and earned her bachelor's degree in literature from Antioch College in 1970. She later pursued a master's degree in economics at New York University (NYU), where she worked for four years with Nobel laureate Wassily Leontief. Her journalistic career began at Fortune, and she was an economic correspondent for The New York Times from 1991 to 1999

In 2001, Nasar was named the first Knight Chair in Business Journalism at the Columbia University School of Journalism. In 2011, she published Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius, a work that explores the history of economic thought and how economists have influenced the improvement of human living conditions

In addition to her literary achievements, Nasar has been recognized with honorary doctorates from DePaul University and Niagara University, and has been a fellow at the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation
