Is there a Nobel Prize in Mathematics? Why?
There is no mathematics prize in Nobel's will, and there have been two opinions.

First, Nobel terminated his education in public middle schools at the age of 16 and did not go to university. Later, he only received some professional education from a Russian organic chemist. In fact, it was that education that aroused Nobel's keen interest in nitroglycerin research. Nobel is a genius inventor, and his inventions come from keen intuition and extraordinary creativity.

/kloc-in the second half of the 0/9 th century, he lived in the field of chemistry and generally did not need advanced mathematics. Therefore, he did not set a math prize in his will.

Secondly, Nobel once had a girlfriend who was ten years younger than him. Later, he found out that his girlfriend was unfaithful to him and had a close relationship with a mathematician in private. Finally, they eloped. This incident has dealt a great blow to Nobel, and he has been bitter about it. Perhaps because of this, Nobel intentionally left out the math prize in his will.
