Nobel Prizes

Definitions

Nobel, Alfred Bernhard 1833-1896; Swedish industrialist, philanthropist, and inventor of dynamite: established the Nobel prizes.

(Americanism) Nobelist, Nobellist; noun. A person who has been awarded a Nobel prize.

Nobel prizes; annual international prizes given by the Nobel Foundation for distinction in physics, chemistry, economics, medicine or physiology, and literature, and for promoting peace.

There is scattered information on the Nobel prizes throughout the Wikiversity. I hope to gather most of it together here. I intend to add more information, including dates, recipients, and a summary of their contributions, for the following categories.

Prizes awarded to More than One Recipient

"A prize may not be shared among more than three people."
