The Nobel Prize originally consisted of five prizes: physics prize, chemistry prize, literature prize, "peace" prize and physiology or medicine prize, which were awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy. 190 1 The first winner of the Nobel Prize was Wilm Conrad Roentgen, whose contribution was X-rays. 1968 newly-added economics prize, evaluated by the scientific Swedish Institute.
The above six fields were drawn by Nobel after careful consideration and a lot of investigations by other scientists, aiming at rewarding outstanding talents who have made great contributions to related fields of human development.
The reason why the Nobel Prize didn't set up a math prize.
In his will, Nobel decided to set up awards for scientists who made important discoveries in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology/medicine. As for why there is no mathematics prize in the Nobel Prize, it is generally believed that it is related to Nobel's personal emotional life.
However, at the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Beijing in 2002, the reporters heard what mathematicians said, and they were more inclined to think that this was related to Nobel's view of science. Nobel terminated his education in public middle schools at the age of 16, but he didn't go on to college. He received some private education from the excellent Russian organic chemist Jining.
As a matter of fact, it was Zinin 1855 that attracted Nobel's attention to nitroglycerin. Nobel is a typical genius inventor in19th century. His invention needs materials, decisiveness and intuition, but it doesn't need any advanced mathematics knowledge. /kloc-in the second half of the 0/9th century, advanced mathematics is generally not needed in the field of chemistry, and Nobel's mathematical knowledge may not exceed four operations and proportional ratio.
The basic changes in mathematical chemistry took place after Nobel's death. Now, even after 1900 years, it is impossible for the Nobel Prize to ignore the influence of mathematics.
