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.
