Jun 6, 2015 at 10:17 comment added Konstantinos Gaitanas I am very pleased to know that a mathematician did fight mental problems,won the fight and won the Abel prize.This is the best thing to remember from him.Feel happy because he lived.Not sad because he died.
May 28, 2015 at 9:15 comment added Geoff Robinson But the terribly sad irony is that he was killed in a taxi crash returning from the airport on his way home after the Abel Prize award ceremonies.
May 25, 2015 at 15:15 comment added Georges Elencwajg Nash's Abel prize was indeed officially awarded in Oslo on May 19th, but already announced on March 25th by the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters: apologies for inaccurately expressing myself. I meant that it is a consolation that Nash was permitted to live through both these days.
May 25, 2015 at 14:02 comment added Gerald Edgar How do you count two months?
May 24, 2015 at 22:54 comment added Georges Elencwajg Fate can be cruel but let us thank Her for allowing Nash to collect his Abel prize in May 2015, two months before his death.
