The Nobel Prize was founded by Nobel, a famous Swedish chemist. Alfred nobel engaged in the invention and development of new explosives all his life, and made great contributions to the scientific development of mankind. Because of his invention, he accumulated great wealth. Before his death, he made a will, saying that he would spend a large part of his wealth to set up the Nobel Prize. Bonuses are awarded every year to those who have made outstanding achievements in various scientific fields. As an adult, Nobel once proposed to a young lady, who was ambiguous and ambiguous. As a result, the young lady and a mathematician at that time, Mitt Leffler, jointly deceived the Nobel Prize. So Nobel hates mathematicians, so there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics. Although this story is widely circulated, Nobel did remain unmarried all his life, but there seems to be something wrong. Imagine a great scientist, it is hard to imagine that he would defile his great ideal for a person's grievances. So what is the reason? We think there are probably the following reasons: First, there was already an influential prize in the field of mathematics at that time, which was called the Scandinavian Prize. Now with this famous prize, Nobel may think it unnecessary to set up a math prize. Secondly, Nobel said in his will that the prize money is mainly to "reward those inventions and discoveries that are of great benefit to mankind". Therefore, as an inventor and industrialist, Nobel decided not to set up a mathematics prize, probably because he was not interested in mathematics. Thirdly, abstract mathematics is not closely related to Nobel's career of invention and discovery, which may be one of the reasons why Nobel did not set up a mathematics prize.
