I’ll never win the Nobel Prize in Mathematics. 🙂
This is more than just the obvious comment on my mathematical research abilities – or more precisely, my lack of them. The more practical reason is that there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics!! Have you ever noticed that – let alone wondered why? 🙂
There ARE Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry (each of which leans heavily on mathematics!), not to mention Medicine, Literature, Economics, and Peace. But no Nobel Prize in Mathematics.
There are several conjectures why this is so, including an interesting/amusing anecdote, part (or all?) of which is probably apocryphal. To read more, visit No Nobel Prize in Math.
