	Alfred Nobel
		Alfred was the third son of Emmanuel Nobel[?] (1801-1872), born at Stockholm, but, at an early age he went with his family to St.
		In 1859 this was left to the care of the second son, Ludvig Emmanuel[?] (1831-1888), by whom it was greatly enlarged, and Alfred, returning to Sweden with his father, devoted himself to the study of explosives, and especially to the manufacture and use of nitroglycerin.
		Nobel found that when nitroglycerin was incorporated with an absorbent, inert substance like kieselguhr[?] it became safer and more convenient to manipulate, and this mixture he patented in 1867 as dynamite.

		Alfred Nobel was determined to rise above the circumstances of poverty and humiliation to which he was born in 1833.

		One of the most powerful men of his time, Nobel was viewed by some as the model of success and entrepreneurial drive; to his workers, he was anenlightened and scrupulously honest employer in an age of mindless exploitation.

	Alfred Nobel Biography \| World of Chemistry
		Owner of more than 350 patented inventions during his lifetime, Nobel is best known as the discoverer of dynamite and the man who upon his death bequeathed much of his large estate to support the annual Nobel Prizes for accomplishments in physics, chemistry, economics, science and medicine, literature, and the promotion of peace.
		In Nobel's mind, all that remained was to devise a special blasting charge to ensure a predictable detonation of the nitroglycerine by shock rather than heat, which he already knew to be a dangerously imperfect firing method.
		Nobel died in 1896 but despite his long and successful career developing and manufacturing explosives he was a devoted humanitarian who wished to aid efforts that might bring about lasting peace as well as beneficial advancements in technology.

		In the century since the Nobel Foundation was established, many have speculated on the reasons why Alfred Nobel did not provide for a prize to be awarded for achievement in the field of mathematics.
		The whole point of Alfred Nobel's benevolent legacy was to encourage and benefit those who "have done mankind the greatest good," an altruistic effort which would have been forever tainted if he had allowed a personal grudge to eradicate any award for an important scientific category.
		Nobel was interested in development work and specified that his prizes should be awarded for "important discoveries and inventions." Mathematics was a field he may have considered too theoretical to produce the direct practical benefits to mankind whose discoverers he sought to reward.
