Why is nobel prize not given in maths as it is given fot other subjects?

Because Nobel decided to give only for important discovery in physics, medicine, chemistry, literature and peace. Later there was added another category: economy. This category could be called a nobel prize for math, because most of modern mathematicians deal with problems in economy.

if i could i would surly put math problems as a sport because there are many people who are great at math and will love to compete with other mathematicians.it may just be exciting seeing people try their best to answer a difficult sum and each time they get it wrong they have to go back to the start.

It has been scientifically demonstrated that Jews are smarter than other groups.\n\nJews also accel at science and many other disciplines.  So when the prizes were awarded, the Jews had done the best work.  They deserved all the prizes they won.\n\nJeffrey

it's not that. other subjects do set homework, but people are more interested in maths. they like maths than any other subject.

There are so many to list.  Go to the Nobel Prize web site and pick as many as you like.  Have fun.\n\nhttp://www.nobelprizes.com/

it depends on how you view it. i consider it to be a science. It is very precise and there is no room for speculation.In mathematics, you make an assumption and then either prove or disprove it. Similar to making an hypothesis and then verifying the results. Some people even refer it as 'mathematical sciences'. If you have an arts and science college, then you have a mathematical dept. belong to the sciences. But some mathematicians get a bit touchy when it is clubbed with the sciences. \n\nDo you know why mathematicians aren't given nobel prizes in mathematics? Btw, they are awarded the 'Fields medal'.\n\nI would call it the King of Arts and the Queen of Sciences.

Mathematics was not invented; it was noticed. Then the early Babylonians started using it to make the calender we still use today. It was used for so many things! Things just kept getting noticed. Heck; I've invented 2 Theorems already. Proved 'em, too.

Well there is still a list of unsolved mathematical problems called Hilbert's 23 challenges.  Most math develops form the need to correlate new equations to streamline comparisons or find new ways to predict observable behavior.  the former being how calculus of founded.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_problems

People have different talents and abilities and some make better use of those they have. Some people have good luck and some do not. But all are of equal worth since their worth is not determined by their abilities. We do not love out parents, children or lovers because they have special abilities or are Nobel prize winners. We love them because of who they are not what they are. In this sense all are equal.

What else... Physics!\n\nSince your question is very comman, the commanest answer would be "Physics".\n\nIn case you have any particular concept in mind state it clearly in your question then the model with respect mathematics can be given sooooooon.

That's an old fundamental problem.  Mathematicians and physicists tend to disbelieve their own observations and replace their experience with empirical results and tautological proofs.

Well maths is the foundation of most ares of science, especially physics, and physics relates to many jobs in fields like engineering etc. Trigonometry in maths at first seems to just relate to triangles, but apart from finding unknown sides and angles, it has many applications. the relationship between the sides of a triangle, in terms of sine, cosine and tangent apply to many areas of physics. You may have heard of trig graphs, and in physics, you can see how many things like waves, simple harmonic motion and AC current all relate to trigonometrical concepts, that is, looking at objects in motion in terms of a reference circle

Yeh, interesting question.  Here is a good response, taken from the Boston Globe:\n\nSort of, but as is so often the case, it's a little more subtle than a simple yes/no answer.\n\nEinstein did receive the Nobel prize in physics in 1921, and the actual citation from the Nobel committee was ''for services to Theoretical Physics, and especially of the law of the photoelectric effect."\n\nDuring 1905 alone Einstein probably made enough scientific leaps to justify three Nobel prizes, writing several papers that would change the world. Certainly the case could be made that he should have had several more for work done afterward, but most people like to think of that year as ''the big one" that made certain he would get a Nobel prize no matter what.\n\nOne 1905 paper dealt with the ''photoelectric effect" and is the work that was clearly cited for the prize. In this work he showed that, although most scientists believed light acted like a wave, one must also at times treat light as being made of little chunks of electromagnetic energy called photons. This was the beginning of the strange subject of quantum mechanics which made it essential to drop many preconceived notions of what made sense in order to really understand how the world worked.\n\nAnother paper of 1905 introduced Einstein's special theory of relativity (special in that it could not deal with acceleration, but only with constant velocity's) and introduced the radical idea of merging space and time into one thing: space-time.\n\nYet another 1905 paper showed that one could infer the existence of atoms -- something still controversial at the time -- by looking at the random motion of grains of pollen in a drop of water.\n\nEinstein kept working to develop his general theory of relativity, which extended the special theory to include acceleration and gravity, but this took a bit of time to get sorted out -- it was published in 1915 and introduced the idea of curved space-time.\n\nThis list of achievements is nowhere near complete, but space restrictions make me stop here.\n\nMany people feel that the Nobel committee wanted to hedge its bets a bit by just picking out just one of the mind-blasting 1905 breakthroughs (which were all still controversial 15 years later) and lumping the rest together as ''Theoretical Physics." Oddly enough, it's the ideas of quantum mechanics, ushered in by the Nobel-cited photoelectric effect paper, that are perhaps the most controversial today!

I think they do this because math is such a popular subject.  Users might have a more difficult time trying to find the mathematics category if it were not clearly stated in the science category.
