This is great example of how the two fit together."

There was no guarantee that Mittag-Leffler would have been a recipient of a Nobel Prize in mathematics. He was a gifted mathematician, and he had the advantage of being a man of some influence with the Royal Swedish Academy of Science (the institution designated to confer the prizes for physics and chemistry, and presumably mathematics had there been such a prize), but there were other highly regarded candidates as well, such as Jules Henri Poincaré and David Hilbert.
