According to his last wish, his legacy will be used to set up a series of awards for those who "made the greatest contribution to mankind" in physics, chemistry, peace, physiology or medicine and literature. The assets used to set up five Nobel Prizes account for 94% of Nobel's total assets, that is, 3 1 10,000 Swedish kronor.
There is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics for the Nobel Prize.
There is no mathematics prize in the Nobel Prize, which is generally believed to be related to Nobel's personal love life. But mathematicians tend to think that this has something to do with Nobel's view of science.
Nobel's invention doesn't need too advanced mathematical knowledge, and even the field of chemistry doesn't need too much advanced mathematics (in fact, most of the industries we are engaged in now don't need advanced mathematics). At that time, the environment was the same, and it was difficult to directly benefit from mathematics. Nobel wants to reward those "inventions or discoveries" that are of great benefit to mankind. If Nobel can predict that computers will appear in the future, I'm afraid the first prize will be the Mathematics Prize.
