Question

why so far no mathematician no scientist got noble prize.give reason.

Answer 1

There are several possible reasons why Nobel did not create a Prize for mathematics. Nobel's will speaks of prizes for those inventions or discoveries of greatest practical benefit to mankind, possibly having in mind practical rather than theoretical works.

As mathematics is not a practical science, this would explain the lack of a Mathematics prize. Correspondingly, the physics prize has been awarded more often for practical than theoretical work.

Another possible reason is that there was already a well known Scandinavian prize for mathematicians. The existing mathematical awards at the time were mainly due to the work of Gösta Mittag-Leffler, who founded the Acta Mathematica, a century later still one of the world's leading mathematical journals.

Through his influence in Stockholm he persuaded King Oscar II to endow prize competitions and honor distinguished mathematicians all over Europe, including Hermite, Bertrand, Weierstrass, and Poincaré.

There exists a myth that Nobel refused to endow a mathematics prize as his wife had an affair with the mathematician Mittag-Leffler; however, the myth cannot be based in fact as Nobel never married.

Answer 2

Nobel prize is only given in applied fields

'no mathematician got noble' isn't true. John Forbes Nash, Jr. (born June 13, 1928) is an American mathematician who works in game theory and differential geometry got Nobel prize in Economics
