No Nobel In Mathematics

  No Nobel in Mathematics

 There is a confusion about the   availabality of the Nobel prize in Mathematics. Some people also wants to know that why there is no Nobel prize in mathematics?

    Well, Let's start...
The renowned 'Nobel prize' was created by the will of Alfred Nobel ,a Swedish chemist and inventor.He established a fund for the awarding of five annual prizes to those who during the preceding years ,shall be conferred the greatest benefit of mankind.
The first time Nobel prize were distributed on 10th December 1901. Nobel specified the prize for the achievement in the fields :
Physics , Chemistry  ,medicine , literature and peace. A prize for a sixth category 'Economics' was added by the bank of Sweden in 1969.

     In this century since Nobel foundation was established,many have speculated on the reasons why Mr.Nobel did not provide for a prize to be awarded for achievement in the field of Mathematics.
So, there is a big question , especially for the family  of Mathematics :
''why there is no nobel in mathematics???"

      Okay! Wait! Be cool !!!
There are many  theories about this matter .
One of the most common and unfounded reason is that  a woman (wife/mistress) of Mr.Nobel cheated him  with a famous Swedish mathematics Gosta  Mittag-Leffler.
      But there is no historical evidence to support  this story. And a important thing is that Mr.Nobel never married . On the other hand Mr.Nobel have a mistress ,a Viennese woman named Sophie Hess, bur there is no evidence of her affair with Gosta Mittage-Leffler. This is  the most  popular  theory about this matter.

      But from the sight of another experts there is another reasons.
Some of them thinks that mathematics is too theoretical and Nobel was not interested in  mathematics, so he simply decided  to avoid mathematics.

       While , some other also highlighted the biggest  awards in mathematics  as the culprit.
These prizes are ''The Fields Medal ", officially called the ''interational Medal for outstanding Discoveries in mathematics",
which is awarded once every four years upto four mathematician under the age of 40. And the "Abel prize" ,created in 2001, in the memory of  the Norwegian  mathematician Niels Henrik Abel. It is awarded by king of Norway each year in March. This prize is considered equivalent to the Nobel prize.

     "The Chennai Medal" is a lifetime achievement  in mathematics, is awarded in every four years in the international Congress of mathematics.
There are several debets about  this matter, which are endless.
But how much we debets, there is no profit , unfortunately "Mathematics is Nobel less!"
