The Nobel Prize is one of the most prestigious awards one could receive in the worlds of physics, chemistry, literature, medicine, and peace. The prize is also controversial in a way that many other fields are excluded including math. Many believe that he excluded math from Alfred Nobel will because his wife had an affair with a mathematician, but this is just a myth. For one thing, Alfred Nobel was never married. The article explains why he chose those five specific fields and why he excluded others. I just find it funny that even scientists can have rumors about them that are completely false and cause misconceptions.
