Fields Medal John Charles Fields (1863-1932) was a Canadian mathematician, educated in Toronto, Paris, and Berlin. He spent the bulk of his academic career at The University of Toronto (with a brief stint at Johns Hopkins University). Fields did original research in the theory of algebraic functions that was influenced by his reknowned mentors, Fuchs, Schwarz, Frobenius and Plank. However, he was better known as an administrator/organizer and is remembered, primarily, for establishing a mathematical equivalent of the Nobel Prizes. Fields, in large part, was responsible for putting together the 1924 meeting of the International Congress of Mathematics in Toronto. Against Fields' wishes, German mathematicians were "black-balled" from participating in this conference. Fields was so troubled by this politicizing of mathematics that he proposed the institution of an award for mathematical achievement and promise that would emphasize the international character of the mathematical endeavor. He endowed such an award in his will, and the first Fields Medal was awarded at the International Congress of Mathematics meetings in Oslo in 1936. Traditionally, Fields Medals have gone to young mathematicians under the age of 40. The intent of the awards is to applaud the exceptional scope and quality of the recipients' work and to assist them in conducting further research.

Medieninformation Nr. 182e - 18. August 1998 [TU Berlin] [Pressestelle] [Medieninformationen] The Four Fields Medallists and the Nevanlinna Prize Winner of The International Congress of Mathematicians, Berlin 1998 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 Fields Medals and Nevanlinna Prize 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.

Next: Table of Awardees Up: Fields Medal Previous: Fields Medal Historical Introduction 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.
