The Nobel Prize is just an award.
Math prize,

Because mathematics has won a considerable prize.

The Bell Prize is an award provided by a foundation established according to the will of the great Swedish scientist Nobel. It was first awarded at19011210 on the 5th anniversary of Nobel's death. In his will, Nobel stipulated that the prize would be awarded annually to "those who have made the greatest contribution to mankind" in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace. The Swedish bank added an economic science award in 1968, which was first awarded in 1969. In other words, there are six Nobel Prizes in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, peace and economics, but there is no math prize!

In the field of mathematics, there is also a worldwide award, that is, the Fields Prize, which is awarded every four years. Fields Prize is the unofficial name of "International Outstanding Mathematical Contribution Award", which is evaluated by the International Mathematical Union (IMU) and awarded at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) every four years. It is only awarded to young and middle-aged mathematicians under the age of 40. In the eyes of mathematicians, the honor brought by the Fields Prize can be completely comparable to the Nobel Prize. 1983, Mr. Qiu Chengtong, who was only 34 years old, won the Fields Prize for proving the Calabi conjecture in differential geometry and the positive mass conjecture in general relativity, becoming the only China mathematician who won the prize so far. Tian Gang, an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, entered the final round of competition. Although he failed to win the prize, he is the closest to the so-called "Nobel Prize in Mathematics" among all mathematicians in China.
