Abel prize
Abel is a gifted mathematician who was born in Norway in the early19th century. When he was young, he read Euler and Lagrange. Works by masters such as Gauss, graduated from university and studied in Germany and France successively. His short and bumpy life did not hinder his great promotion of mathematics, such as the integral theory of algebraic functions, the promotion of Abel equations to the study of elliptic functions and so on. Only now, Abel is recognized as one of the pioneers in the development of modern mathematics, but he was not fairly recognized before his death. In order to commemorate the first famous Norwegian in the world, the Norwegian government announced the establishment of the mathematics prize-Abel Prize on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Abel's birth in 200 1. In order to expand the influence of mathematics and attract young people to engage in mathematical research, the prize money of Abel Prize is really large enough, reaching 800,000 US dollars, which is the highest mathematics prize in the world at present.
Wolf prize
Because the Fields Prize is only awarded to young mathematicians under the age of 40, it is not enough to represent all the achievements of a mathematician, and it is slightly unfair to older mathematicians. There is no age limit for the Wolf Award. 1 976 65438+1October1day, Wolff and his family donated100000 dollars to establish the Wolff Foundation. In order to promote the development of science and art all over the world, the Wolf Prize has five awards (198 1 an art award has been added). The Wolf Prize will be awarded once a year from 1978, with a prize of $65,438+million each time, which can be shared by several people. The Wolf Prize in Mathematics has the greatest influence, which may also be due to the fact that there is no mathematics prize in the Nobel Prize. Mathematicians who have won the Wolf Prize are also masters of contemporary mathematics.
Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award and Chen Shengshen Award
Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award is an award established to encourage young and middle-aged mathematicians in China. The award was established by chinese mathematical society on 1986 and was first awarded on 1987. Choose once every two years, two people at a time; The bonus is RMB100000 yuan, and certificates and medals will be awarded at the same time. Chen Shengshen Award is an international mathematics award established by the International Mathematical Union on June 2, 2009. It is also the first mathematics award named after a mathematician in China. The award was selected and awarded at the International Congress of Mathematicians. There is no age limit for this award, and it is a lifetime achievement award in the field of international mathematics. The bonus is 250 thousand plus 250 thousand
