The Nobel prizes, awarded annually for distinguished work in
chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, literature and international
peace, were made available by a fund bequeathed for that purpose by
Swedish philanthropist, Alfred Bernhard Nobel.
66.
67.
The prizes, awarded since 1901, are administered by the Nobel
Foundation in Stockholm. In 1969, a prize for economics endowed by the
Central Bank of Sweden was added. Candidates for the prizes must be
nominated in writing by a qualified authority in the field of competition.
Candidates are judged by Swedish and Norwegian academies and institutes
on the basic of their contribution to mankind. The awards are usually
presented in Stockholm on December 10, with the king of Sweden officiating,
an appropriate tribute to Alfred Nobel on the anniversary of his death. Each
prize includes a gold medal, a diploma, and a cash award of about one million
dollars.

Watch a baby between six and nine months old, and you will
observe the basic concepts of geometry being learned. Once the baby has

J-P Network English Corp


mastered the idea that space is three-dimensional, it reaches out and begins
grasping various kinds of objects. It is then, from perhaps nine to fifteen
months, that the concepts of sets and numbers are formed. So far, so good.
But now an ominous development takes place. The nerve fibers in the brain
insulate themselves in such a way that the baby begins to hear sounds
precisely. Soon it picks up language, and it is then brought onto direct
communication with adults. From this point on, it is usually downhill all the
way for mathematics because the child now becomes exposed to all the
nonsense words and beliefs of the community into which it has been so
unfortunate as to have been born. Nature having done very well by the child
to this point, having permitted it the luxury of thinking for itself for eighteen
months, now abandons it to the arbitrary conventions and belief of society.
But at least the child knows something of geometry and numbers, and it will
always retain some memory of the early halcyon days, no matter what
vicissitudes it may suffer later on. The main reservoir of mathematical talent
in any society is thus possessed by the children who are about two years old,
who have just learned to speak fluently.
