no, Math has almost universal applications Nash is a case in point several mathematicians have received Nobel Prizes they just receive them in Economics, Psychology, others e.g. Herb Simon from Carnegie Mellon in Psychology (his prize work was math model of human brain he taught more math courses than psych) Nobel's nemesis in Stockholm was a mathematician his established foundation snubbed the field dominated by his despised nemesis they really hated each other as simple as that you dont really think Math has no applications, do you? Qualcomm's synchronous fourier waves enabling triple the transmission traffic per wireless channel with zero pseudo-noise is the most near&dear to Qualcomm investors' hearts that was worthy of a Physics Nobel, but it was way too simple some might say that is an Engineering piece of work not really, it is an application of fourier analysis employing its orthogonality principles even internet search engines from Excite, Yahoo, Lycos all use complex mathematical search algorithms to produce greater efficiency Modern Portfolio Theory used in investment and stock research uses simple statistical methods but some might call that a Finance piece of work I onced had a Digital colleague with a UMichigan MS in Anthropology she told me of Statistics Discriminant Analysis used to classify fossil bones at a dig site so now, archeologists have picks, shovels, and stat methods as tools fortunately, Mathematics is the King of Sciences it has its hand in almost every single field and Statistics is its application Queen MATH AND STAT RULE !!! Nobel knew he couldnt avoid mathematicians but he did the best he could, in an infantile manner / Dr J
