Controversies of Nobel Prize

No Nobel Prize was established for mathematics and many other scientific and cultural fields. An early theory that envy or rivalry led Nobel to omit a prize to mathematician Gösta Mittag-Leffler was refuted because of timing inaccuracies. Another myth that states that Nobel’s spouse had an affair with a mathematician (sometimes attributed as Mittag-Leffler) has been equally debunked; Nobel was never married. A more likely explanation is that Nobel did not consider mathematics as a practical discipline, and too theoretical to benefit humankind, as well as his personal lack of interest in the field and the fact that an award to mathematicians given by Oscar II already existed at the time. Both the Fields Medal and the Abel Prize have been described as the “Nobel Prize of mathematics“. #NobelPrizeAward #ScienceTVGenre #award #dynamite #inventor #AlfredNobelInventor #ChemistryFieldOfStudy #SocietyQuotationSubject #legacy #trust #landmarkAchievement #discovery #prestigious #literature #medicine #physics #peace #economics #committee #academic #candidate #nominee #nominate #laureate #goldMedal #diploma #ErnestHemingwayAuthor #AlexanderFlemingAcademic #PenicillinDrug #AlbertEinsteinAcademic #MarieCurieAcademic #redCross #martinLutherKingJr
