Anyway, I first heard of it in an episode of NUMB3RS / Numbers. Given in our "Post Nine-Eleven World" we cannot academically discuss freely how Alfred Nobel - a working chemist - figured out how to stabilize nitroglycerin without the aid of "basic" engineering-level mathematics, the "Jilted Lover Theory" on why Alfred Nobel didn't include mathematics as Nobel Prize worthy is extremely valid. <BR/>P.S. Is this might also be the reason why there is no Nobel for Psychiatry? Did he find the works of Sigmund Freud " too Freudian".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17304225137759690940noreply@blogger.com
