The most prominent such mathematicians are Bertrand Russell, a prominent philosopher as well as a logician, who was awarded the 1950 Nobel in Literature and John Nash who was awarded the 1994 Nobel in Economics for his study of equilibria in non-zero sum games.


Moreover, (from Wikipedia): There is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics, which has led to considerable speculation about why Alfred Nobel omitted it.[32][33] Some recipients of the Nobel Prize in other fields also have notable achievements in or have made outstanding contributions to mathematics; for example, Bertrand Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature (1950) and Max Born and Walther Bothe shared the Nobel Prize in Physics (1954). Some others with advanced credentials in mathematics and/or who are known primarily as mathematicians have been awarded the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel: Kenneth Arrow (1972), Leonid Kantorovich (1975), John Forbes Nash (1994), Clive W. J. Granger (2003), Robert J. Aumann (who shared the 2005 Prize with Thomas C. Schelling), and Roger Myerson and Eric Maskin (2007).
