Abstract

John Nash and his wife Alicia died unexpectedly in an auto accident on May 23, 2015. They were 86 and 82. While John was famous for many things, including his 1994 Nobel Prize in economics and his ability to slowly pull out of the cognitive fog of schizophrenia, to me they are best remembered together as one of the great love stories of all time. Alicia deserves fame and remembrance for her beautiful mind as well. Without her, there very likely would have been no recovery and no Nobel Prize.
