Fermat Prize

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fermat prize of mathematical research bi-annually rewards research works in elds where the contributions of Pierre de Fermat have been
decisive:
Statements of variational principles
Foundations of probability and analytic geometry
Number theory.
The spirit of the prize is focused on rewarding the results of researches accessible to the greatest number of professional mathematicians within these
elds. The Fermat prize was created in 1989 and is awarded once every two years in Toulouse by the Institut de Mathmatiques de Toulouse. The
amount of the Fermat prize has been xed at 20,000 Euros for the twelfth edition (2011).

geometry and in the theory of automorphic forms.[1]

Junior Fermat Prize

The Junior Fermat Prize is a mathematical prize, awarded every two years to a student in the rst four years of university for a contribution to
mathematics. The amount of the prize is 2000 Euros.
