Why is there no Nobel Prize in Mathematics?
Because the will left by Nobel, a famous Swedish chemist, did not propose to set up a mathematics prize. So there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics.

Although there is no mathematics prize in the Nobel Prize, there is a grand prize in the international mathematics field-Fields Prize, which represents the highest achievement in the mathematics field.

The Fields Prize was established at the 9th International Congress of Mathematicians in 1932, and was first awarded in 1936. Named after Canadian mathematician john fields, this prize is awarded to mathematicians under 40 who have made great contributions in the field of mathematics. The prize is evaluated by the International Mathematical Union (IMU) and awarded every four years. No more than four winners at a time, each of them can get a medal made of pure gold and a bonus. The medal is engraved with the head of the Greek mathematician Archimedes and the motto engraved in Latin, "Beyond the limits of mankind, be the master of the universe".
