The Wolf Prize is called the "Nobel Prize" in mathematics.

It was founded in 1976 65438+ 10 1, and was donated by Wolf and his family. Wolff was born in Germany and immigrated to Cuba before World War I.. It took him nearly 20 years to find out how to recover iron from slag and get rich. With the aim of "promoting the development of science and art and benefiting mankind", the Wolff family donated a total of $65,438+1billion.

The Wolf Prize is awarded once a year to outstanding achievers in chemistry, agriculture, medicine, physics, mathematics and art. The prize in each field is 6,543,800 yuan, which can be shared by several people. There is no age limit, and the winners are all scientists who have made outstanding contributions in the world. The great reputation of these scientists made the award widely known.

Fields Prize was proposed by the late Canadian mathematician Fields. The winner must be under 40 years old before New Year's Day.
