From C. Southern
A proper recognition of mathematics in the Nobel prizes could easily be achieved if the Norwegian parliament passed a law to modify the rules of the Nobel Foundation. This could add the Abel prize fund to the Nobel fund and award a Nobel prize for mathematics (7 June, p 12).
There are many precedents worldwide for a testator’s instructions being modified after death, without any implied criticism of the testator, leading to well-accepted improvements to the original terms of the will.
