Professor Chen Shengshen, a famous Chinese-American scientist, a foreign academician of China Academy of Sciences and honorary chairman of the 2002 International Congress of Mathematicians, said in an interview with reporters on August 22nd that it may be a good thing that there is no mathematics prize in the Nobel Prize, which enables mathematicians to concentrate more on their research work and not be confused by fame and fortune.

Among many world-class scientific awards, the Nobel Prize is the highest award, and the honor it brings to scientists is supreme. But 100 years, people have been asking, why didn't the Nobel Prize in Mathematics be established? The answer is simple and clear, that is, the prize decided by Nobel in his will is awarded to scientists who have made the most important discoveries in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine; In addition, it is also awarded to authors who have written outstanding literary works and people who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of world peace. The answer is simple, but what makes Nobel decide not to reward mathematicians seems to be a mathematical problem.
