A gold medal and a prize of $65,438 +0.500 are all prizes of Fields Prize, which seems to be far less than the Nobel Prize. However, the academic reputation of the winners is absolutely not inferior to that of the Nobel Prize winners. This grand prize was established at the 9th International Congress of Mathematicians in 1932, and was first awarded in 1936, which was specially used to reward outstanding achievements of young mathematicians under 40. The award is awarded every four years, and no more than four winners each time. Such harsh conditions make the Fields Prize more difficult to win than the Nobel Prize.
The Fields Medal is engraved with the head of the Greek mathematician Archimedes, and the motto "Beyond the limits of mankind, be the master of the universe" is engraved in Latin. On the back is written in Latin: "Mathematicians all over the world: proud of making new contributions to knowledge". This award is named after john fields, a Canadian mathematician and educator.
Fields has made some achievements in algebraic functions, which greatly promoted the international communication among mathematicians all over the world. Fields fully prepared and presided over the international congress of mathematicians held in Toronto on 1924, and initiated the establishment of the international mathematics prize. Fields' wish was finally realized in 1936, and the Fields Prize named after him was awarded for the first time at the 9th International Congress of Mathematicians.
Nevanlinna Award: The laurel of information science The Nevanlinna Award is a mathematical award in the field of information science. The Nevanlinna Prize, like the Fields Prize, was presented at the International Congress of Mathematicians. There is a winner every time, and the winner can get a medal and a bonus. The award 198 1 was established by the Executive Committee of the International Federation of Mathematicians in April. 1982 In April, the International Federation of Mathematicians accepted a donation from the University of Helsinki, Finland, so the award was named the Nevanlinna Award in memory of Rolf Nevanlinna, then president of the University of Helsinki and president of the International Federation of Mathematicians.

The 25th International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid will present the Gauss Prize for the first time. The prize is to commemorate the "prince of mathematics" Gauss, and is mainly used to reward people who have made achievements in the field of applied mathematics. The winner will receive a medal with a portrait of Gauss and a bonus. The Gauss Prize is jointly awarded by the International Federation of Mathematicians and the German Federation of Mathematicians, which is responsible for the management of this award. 1998 At the 23rd International Congress of Mathematicians held in Berlin, Germany, the International Federation of Mathematicians decided to establish this award.
