	Why there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics
		Six Nobel Prizes are awarded each year, one in each of the following categories: literature, physics, chemistry, peace, economics, and physiology and medicine.
		This is only of interest because it may have contributed to the myth that Nobel had planned to institute a prize in mathematics but had refrained because of his antipathy to Mittag-Leffler or -in another version of the same story- because of their rivalry for the affections of a woman....
		As long as people push and challenge themselves as well as others to be inventive for the greater of mankind may the world grow together.
