Mileva is from the Slavic mil (gracious, dear). **Mileva Marić (1875-1948)** was the **Serbian physicist and mathematician — Albert Einstein's first wife and only fellow physicist student at the Zurich Polytechnic**. **The only woman among six students in Einstein's section, and the second woman to complete the full mathematics and physics program at Zurich Polytechnic**. **The extent of her collaboration in Einstein's 1905 "miracle year" papers remains intensely debated** — but Einstein gave her the entire 1921 Nobel Prize money as part of their divorce settlement.
Subject of Dord Krstić's *Mileva & Albert Einstein: Their Love and Scientific Collaboration* (2004).
Mileva reduces to one — the number of Einstein's first wife.
