What is the ABEL price?

The ABEL price is sometimes called Nobel's mathematics and is awarded to individuals who have contributed significant work in the mathematics area. The first ABEL prize was awarded in 2003 France Jean-Pierre Serre for his work on the theory of numbers, algebraic geometry and topology, which is the study of geometric characters and the effects of bending and stretching. Mathematicians feel that the recognition of the mathematics area has been delayed for a long time, as Nobel's prizes have been awarded for more than a hundred years.

The idea of ​​the ABEL price in mathematics was previously designed, but the price lacked the driving force of the large win. In 1905, Sweden and Norway were separated and the idea of ​​the price in mathematics defined. At that time, some regret was expressed by mathematics and scientists. In 2001, the idea of ​​ABEL was revived and the group convened to discuss the conditions of the price, its statutes and how the nomination process would work. The proposal for the ABEL Award was sent to the Prime Minister of Norway.

The Prime Minister supported this idea and announced the establishment of the fund at the end of 2001 to support the ABEL Award. In 2002, nominations were requested for the first winner of the ABEL Award. Anyone can make a nomination for the ABEL price, which must include curriculum vitae for nominated mathematics and oveview about the work of mathematics. Contact information for experts who can be consulted can be included. Dear Mathematics cannot be nominated even if if the nomination process dies MaThe theme, the ABELA Award can be awarded posthumously. Mathematicians cannot nominate and the nominations remain anonymous. The winners of the awards are announced in the spring.
