trivia question on Nobel Prizes (and Norbert Weiner comment) why is no Nobel Prize offered for Mathematics ? I dug and found why many years ago applied math is my field thus my curiosity interesting that Nash was helped by Norbert Weiner Weiner is the author and developer of the famous Weiner Process a more difficult cousin stochastic process to my thesis area the Weiner Process can be used to model the movement of the stock major averages when no external shocks are present, and strangely, to model the path in 3D of floating particles like cigarette smoke the Weiner Process was the hardest thing I ever encountered in graduate school my favorite professor at Carnegie Mellon was an expert in Weiner I simply could not cut it leave it for the Stanford, Michigan, and Ivy guys to conquer thanks for the bio on Nash now any guesses why no Math Nobel? / jim
