Here, a brief post on why, perhaps, there is no Nobel Prize in mathematics:

The
Fields Medal,
Abel Prize, and
Wolf Prize are three awards that somewhat substitute for a Nobel in math. (The Fields, presented every 4 years, will next be awarded in 2014, while the Abel and Wolf Prizes are generally awarded annually.)
