Why is mathematics is not given the Nobel prize?
Because the founder of the Nobel Prize, Alfred Nobel, did not specify an award for mathematics. He left very specific instructions in his will, and the disciplines for which there would be a Nobel prize were spelled out: physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace. There have been some debates over the years about adding a new prize, but the Board of Directors decided to remain true to the instructions Nobel left. That said, other agencies have created awards for Mathematics, such as the Fields Medal. But it is unlikely there will be a Nobel Prize.
