Why does it fall under physics and not under mathematics?
- uoaei 2y agoThere is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics.
- AceJohnny2 2y agothe Nobel Prize doesn't do mathematics.
- dredmorbius 2y agoFurther: the "Nobel equivalent" maths prize is the Fields Medal: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fields_Medal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fields_Medal>
- lucasban 2y agoThere isn’t a Nobel prize for mathematics. There is the Fields medal but it is different, and not handled by the same organization.
- gweinberg 2y agoTrue, but that's not a very good reason for giving a Nobel Prize in Physics to something that isn't physics. I think the standard way of giving a Nobel Prize to mathematicians is to call it economics.
