Also, there is no Maths Nobel. The closest thing is Economics, which is what John Nash won.

The closest thing is the Fields medal.

I meant the closest Nobel to a Maths Nobel is Economics. I didn't mean another award entirely.

Fields is structured differently than the Nobel prizes though - only once every 4 years, and only to mathematicians [edit: not] over 40.

I think you meant "not over 40".
