    Extractions: Medieninformation Nr. 182e - 18. August 1998 [TU Berlin] [Pressestelle] [Medieninformationen] In physics or literature they have the Nobel Prize, and in mathematics there is the " Fields Medal ". This highest scientific award for mathematicians was presented today at the opening ceremony of the " International Congress of Mathematicians " to Richard E. Borcherds Maxim Kontsevich William Timothy Gowers and Curtis T. McMullen . The International Mathematical Union also awarded the "Nevanlinna Prize" for outstanding work in the field of theoretical computer science to the mathematician Peter Shor The Fields Medal is the highest scientific award for mathematicians. The awards are presented every four years at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) together with a prize of 15 000 Canadian dollars (approx. DM 17 500). Four medals are presented at each ceremony to mathematicians who are not more than forty years old. The age limit is intended to guarantee that not only past work is rewarded. The Fields Medal is also intended to encourage the winners to make further contributions. "Fields Medal" is in fact only the unofficial name for the "International medal for outstanding discoveries in mathematics". John C. Fields (1863 - 1932), a Canadian mathematician, was the organiser of the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1924 in Toronto. Fields was able to attract so many sponsors that money was left over at the end of the congress, and this was used to fund the medals. The first Fields Medal was awarded in 1936 at the world congress in Oslo. Due to the great expansion in mathematical research, four medals have been presented at each congress since 1966. The awards are often referred to as the "Nobel Prize for Mathematics", since the Swedish Academy of Sciences itself can only honour mathematicians indirectly through the natural sciences or social sciences. There is no Nobel Prize for mathematics.

Opened up a new ideas in analysis. Jesse DOUGLAS (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) - Did important work of the Plateau problem which is concerned with finding minimal surfaces connecting and determined by some fixed boundary. Laurent SCHWARTZ (University of Nancy) - Developed the theory of distributions, a new notion of generalized function motivated by the Dirac delta-function of theoretical physics. John Willard MILNOR (Princeton University) - Proved that a 7-dimensional sphere can have several differential structures; this led to the creation of the field of differential topology. Michael Francis ATIYAH (Oxford University) - Did joint work with Hirzebruch in K -theory; proved jointly with Singer the index theorem of elliptic operators on complex manifolds; worked in collaboration with Bott to prove a fixed point theorem related to the "Lefschetz formula". Paul Joseph COHEN (Stanford University) - Used technique called "forcing" to prove the independence in set theory of the axiom of choice and of the generalized continuum hypothesis. The latter problem was the first of Hilbert's problems of the 1900 Congress.

    Extractions: Next: Erdos Number Up: Human Interest Previous: Indiana bill sets the This is the original letter by Fields creating the endowment for the medals that bear his name. It is thought to have been written during the few months before his death. Notice that no mention is made about the age of the recipients (currently there is a 40 year-old limit), and that the medal should not be attached to any person, private or public, meaning that it shouldn't bear anybody's name. It is proposed to found two gold medals to be awarded at successive International Mathematical Congress for outstanding achievements in mathematics. Because of the multiplicity of the branches of mathematics and taking into account the fact that the interval between such congresses is four years it is felt that at least two medals should be available. The awards would be open to the whole world and would be made by an International Committee. The fund for the founding of the medals is constituted by balance left over after financing the Toronto congress held in 1924. This must be held in trust by the Government or by some body authorized by government to hold and invest such funds. It would seem that a dignified method for handling the matter and one which in this changing world should most nearly secure permanency would be for the Canadian Government to take over the fund and appoint as his custodian say the Prime Minister of the Dominion or the Prime Minister in association with the Minister of Finance. The medals would be struck at the Mint in Ottawa and the duty of the custodian would be simply to hand over the medals at the proper time to the accredited International Committee.

Mathematicians not only study, but also research, and this must be given prominent mention here, because a misconception that everything in mathematics is already known is widespread among persons not learned in that field. In fact, the publication of new discoveries in mathematics continues at an immense rate in hundreds of scientific journals, many of them devoted to mathematics and many devoted to subjects to which mathematics is applied (such as theoretical computer science, physics or quantum mechanics).

Latvian Academy of Sciences appoints a permanent representative to EAS ( more... Three Fields Medalists are Members of the European Academy of Sciences. At the 1924 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM), it was decided that at each ICM, two gold medals should be awarded to recognize outstanding mathematical achievement. Professor J. C. Fields, a Canadian mathematician who was Secretary of the 1924 Congress, later donated funds establishing the medals which were named in his honor. Consistent with Fields's wish that the awards recognize both existing work and the promise of future achievement, it was agreed to restrict the medals to mathematicians not over forty at the year of the Congress. In 1966 it was agreed that, in light of the great expansion of mathematical research, up to four medals could be awarded at each Congress. It is largely recognized that the Fields Medal is equivalent to Nobel Prize if it were awarded to mathematicians. Enrico Bombieri Novikov obtained his first degree in 1960 and then became a research student at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in Moscow. In 1960-61 he [5]:- ... studied the writings of Whitney, Pontryagin, Thom and Milnor, all of which are written with great clarity.
