Kuhn was born in Santa Monica in 1925.[3] He is known for his association with
John Forbes Nash, as a fellow graduate student, a lifelong friend and colleague, and a key figure in getting Nash the attention of the
Nobel Prize committee that led to Nash's 1994
Nobel Prize in Economics.[4] Kuhn and Nash both had long associations and collaborations with
Albert W. Tucker, who was Nash's dissertation advisor. Kuhn co-edited The Essential John Nash,[5] and is credited as the mathematics consultant in the 2001 movie adaptation of Nash's life, A Beautiful Mind.[6]
In 1949, he married Estelle Henkin, sister of logician
Leon Henkin. His oldest son was oral historian
Clifford Kuhn (1952-2015), an associate professor at
Georgia State University noted for his scholarship on the
American South. Another son, Nicholas Kuhn, is a professor of mathematics at the
University of Virginia.[8] His youngest son, Jonathan Kuhn, is Director of Art and Antiquities for the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.
