Why is there no nobel prize for mathematics? I mean, there is a nobel prize for economic sciences … which barely qualify as "science" imho.

I heard some anecdote about Nobel's wife cheating with some mathematician. But somehow, this does not sound serious.

There is.

I'd argue the Abel prize is closer to being a Nobel prize for maths. The reason there is no Nobel prize for maths is because Nobel did not think it helped humanity, at least not directly.

>>9050911
Alfred Nobel was cucked by a mathematician.

>>9050913
The fields medal is hardly a nobel prize. The money you get is peanuts, compared to the funding you get for a nobel prize.
>>
>>9050925
But he had the opinion that economic sciences do? That seems strange, even most capitalists do not believe this.
>>
>>9050963
the prize in economics was added many years later
>>
>>9050930
This.
>>
>>9050967
Who added it?
>>
>>9051007
the central bank of sweden. it was first given in 1969.

Urban myth.

>there is a nobel prize for economic sciences

it's a fake nobel prize, the swedish central bank simply stole his name and created a prize "in honor of nobel" for marketing.
>>
>>9051047
>central bank
>marketing
I don't think you understand what a central bank is
>>
>>9051056
fact is there's nothing in Alfred Nobel's will that calls for a prize for economics, and the Swedish central bank has no relation with the Nobel foundation, they just stole his name to make themselves feel more important.
>>
>>9051072
This is incorrect. The prize is financed through a donation by Sweden's central bank, where a central bank is a state's money repository, but the prize is recognized by the Nobel Foundation.
>>
>>9050925
In terms of what the prize is and how often it's awarded, yes. What about in terms of the prestige of the medal?
>>
>>9051040

Earning a Nobel means you did something that matters.

What about Barack Obama?
>>
>>9051739
Central banks are an organ of the state, not a bank where you create a savings account.
>>
>>9051788
Obviously faggot
>>
>>9051785
What about him?
>>
>>9051791
It didn't seem like it was obvious given the post's implication seemed to conflate the two.
>>
>>9051785
The "nobel peace prize" is subjective, it doesn't count. Its the yearly participation award.
>>
>>9051796
He won a Nobel Prize.
>>
>>9051684
For mathematicians I'd say it's pretty noteworthy.
>>
>>9051804
He didn't win the Nobel in any science related field. Why is that relative to the conversation on this board?
>>
>>9051800
The central banks are way jewier than your local credit union
