Ist es nicht an der Zeit, den Informatik- und Mathematikwissenschaften eine eigene Nobelpreiskategorie zu geben?

Interestingly, Economics wasn’t originally a prize awarded (and it seems isn’t “officially” a *Nobel* prize), and some of Nobel’s family have distanced themselves from that particular prize.

So there’s precedent for adding another prize, but the question becomes: does that honour the legacy of what Nobel intended? Does that even matter any more?

For what it’s worth, Physics is for a “discovery or invention” — so I can understand why this is the best of the current Nobel categories.

Eh math makes sense but CS not really. Anyway that field doesn’t need to get its ego boner stroked anymore than it already is.
