The most famous and influential mathematics prizes in the world are Fields Prize and Wolf Prize, and other countries also have their own prizes.

Fields Prize:

Proposed by the late Canadian mathematician Fields, the winner must be under 40 years old before New Year's Day. 1924, at the international congress of mathematicians held in Toronto, he proposed to use the remaining funds of academic conferences as funds, and he also donated some funds himself. This initiative has been unanimously supported by mathematicians from all over the world.

Fields died in 1932, but in the same year, the international congress of mathematicians held in Zurich passed the establishment of the Fields Prize, and decided to award the prize from 1936, which will be awarded at every international congress of mathematicians. The Fields Prize will be awarded 1500 USD and a gold medal.

Abel prize:

The annual prize is as high as $800,000, which is equivalent to the Nobel Prize. This is the highest prize in mathematics in the world.

Chinese mathematician:

1992165438+1October 4th, the first "Mathematics Prize" of China was awarded in Beijing. In order to commemorate the outstanding contribution of Hua, a world-famous mathematician, to the cause of mathematics in China and promote the development of mathematics in China, the "Hua Mathematics Award" donated by Hunan Education Press and co-sponsored by the Chinese Mathematical Society * * * is awarded every two years to reward and encourage China mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to the development of mathematics in China.

Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award:

Professor Chen Shengshen, a Chinese-American mathematician and foreign academician of China Academy of Sciences, is an international master of mathematics and has made outstanding contributions to the development of mathematics. Mr. Chen Shengshen is very concerned about the development of mathematics in the motherland, and has done a lot of work for the development of mathematics and the cultivation of mathematics talents in China for decades.

In order to affirm Professor Chen Shengshen's achievements and inspire young and middle-aged mathematicians in China to make contributions to the development of mathematics in China, the Standing Council of the Chinese Mathematical Society decided to establish the "Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award". The scope of awards is young and middle-aged mathematicians in China who have made outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics.
