Fact File
Why Nobel Prize is not given in the field of mathematics?
There are many theories as to why maths is not included.
One says that Swedish mathematician Gosta Magnus Mittang-Leffer ran off with Alfred Noble’s wife and the exclusion of maths is Nobel’s revenge. However, Alfred Nobel never married!
Another says that Mittang-Leffer, in process of accumulating his own wealth, antagonized Nobel. Nobel, afraid that Mittang-Leffer being a leading Swedish mathematician would win the prize in maths, then refused to institute such a prize.
However, the most rational one says that Mittang-Leffer and Nobel didn’t even know each other. It’s just that the thought of a prize in mathematics never entered Nobel’s mind!
