Fun fact! There is no Nobel Prize for mathematics. Many people have speculated why this is, but I think it’s because Alfred Nobel just plain hated mathematicians.
@HOWGOZIT: There are many awards for mathematical works, there’s progress made in the field every year.
There are theories as to why Nobel didn’t include math as a field, but the most plausible ones include that he didn’t think math was useful / didn’t like mathematicians.

Nah, it’s because it’s too hard to come up with something new in math.
