Dr. Rita Colwell's statement on recipients of Fields Medal and Rolf Nevanlinna Prize in Mathematics
I am pleased to congratulate Vladimir Voevodsky and Madhu Sudan on receiving the most distinguished prizes in the mathematical sciences. Their accomplishments reflect the recognition that mathematics underlies all fields of science and engineering, enabling progress in our economy, our industry and our lives. We are proud that the National Science Foundation (NSF) has supported the groundbreaking work of these honorees. The Fields Medal, the world's highest honor for mathematical research, rivals the Nobels of other sciences. Vladimir Voevodsky, currently at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., shares the 2002 Fields Medal with Laurent Lafforgue, a colleague in France. Dr. Voevodsky conducted his prize-winning research in algebraic geometry and number theory, developing novel ways to describe the geometric shapes of solutions to algebraic equations, with support from NSF grants. Madhu Sudan, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, is receiving the 2002 Rolf Nevanlinna Prize, which recognizes outstanding work in the mathematical aspects of computer science. His work in advancing the theory of probabilistically checkable proofsa way to recast a mathematical proof in computer language for additional checks on its validityand developing error-correcting codes was accomplished with the support of an NSF Faculty Early Career Development Award and individual grants.

Rolf Nevanlinna Institute
The Rolf Nevanlinna Institute (RNI) is a research institute of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Thus, the Algorithmic Data Analysis Division recently having been closed, two of the three research divisions have a statistical profile. At our visit, the division of Electromagnetic Fields was moreover less active due to J. Sarvas's absence this year. The Institute is a non-teaching institute of the Helsinki University. Its main funding is short term and from sources outside the university, in particular the Academy and the Graduate School System of the Ministry of Education. A special role is played by the collaboration with the National Public Health Institute (KTL) in supporting biostatistics. The panel finds it excellent that the RNI collaborates with KTL. Epidemiological surveys are being conducted in Finland, which are important not only to the country, but to biomedical and health research all over the world. Several factors contribute to this, e.g. excellent registers and good field organization and compliance. It is of great importance that these investigations are planned and analyzed using the best possible mathematical/statistical expertise. This general argument in favor of building up and maintaining such competence in Finland in particular serves to support the further development of the biostatistical unit and research within the RNI. One might also envisage the RNI's taking upon itself the task of introducing new fields to Finland, e.g. through a visitor program. A small country like Finland cannot pursue activities in all of mathematics, but it can strive to follow the development in areas where it is not so strong by inviting first class researchers. Even in areas where there is an active local scientific tradition, international contacts remain a must.

Also the rolf nevanlinna Institute was included whereas mathematics in the schools of Thursday, University of Helsinki, rolf nevanlinna Institute
http://www.math.utu.fi/research/arviointi/background.html
BACKGROUND
The reason for initiating an evaluation of Finnish mathematics was clearly the need to gauge its state, see where it is going, what can be done to improve it, and to provide more information for those who decide on the funding. The Research Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering launched the evaluation of mathematics by appointing a committee on May 12, 1999. Professor Mats Gyllenberg, who is a representative of the Research Council, was appointed a chairman of the committee. Other members were
  • Professor Elja Arjas, Rolf Nevanlinna Institute, Professor Antti Kupiainen, University of Helsinki.
Programme Director Marjo Lipponen, from the Research Programme MaDaMe, was appointed as external expert to handle the coordination of the evaluation. In addition, Scientific Secretaries Ulla Ruotsalainen and Pentti Pulkkinen have taken part in the committee work.
The beginning
The committee had the challenging task of deciding on the practicalities of the evaluation. Clearly the focus was to be on research in pure and applied mathematics, though drawing the borderline between mathematics and its close co-disciplines, statistics and computer science, was not easy. This was done mainly by deciding which departments were to be included in the evaluation. Mathematics teaching was not included, as it had been evaluated recently. As it did not seem to make sense to evaluate whole departments, partly because of the many structural differences, but also because Academy funding is usually awarded to individuals or groups rather than to departments, the committee decided to take research groups as natural objects. However, the definition of research groups was left completely to the departments, which meant that even a group consisting of a single person would be allowed. The only restriction was that each professor of the department was to be a member in one group only.

International Mathematical Union The Fields Medal The Rolf Nevanlinna Prize Fields Medal The Fields Medal is often described as "the Nobel prize for mathematics." Though there is no formal rule to this effect, Fields Medals have traditionally been presented to young mathematicians (no older than 40). The 2002 Fields Medals went to Laurent Lafforgue of the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques in Bures-sur-Yvette, France, honored for making major advances in the "Langlands Program," and to Vladimir Voevodsky of Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, USA, honored for developing a new cohomology theory for algebraic varieties. Rolf Nevanlinna Prize The Nevanlinna Prize has been awarded since 1982 by the International Mathematical Union. It recognizes exceptional work in the more mathematical aspects of computer science. Like the Fields Medal, it is traditionally restricted to young researchers, no older than 40. The prize is named for Rolf Nevanlinna, a past president of the IMU. The 2002 Nevanlinna Prize went to Madhu Sudan of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, in recognition of his work on "probabilistically checkable proofs, to non-approximability of optimization problems, and to error-correcting codes."

    Fields Medals and Rolf Nevanlinna Prize
    Fields Medals
    At the 1924 International Congress of Mathematicians in Toronto, a resolution was adopted that at each ICM, two gold medals should be awarded to recognize outstanding mathematical achievement. Professor J. D. 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. For more details about the origins of the Fields Medal we recommend the article:

    Ahlfors was born in April 1907 in Helsinki, Finland. His father was a professor of mechanical engineering in the Polytechnic Institute of Helsinki . His mother was killed giving birth. As a child he was interested in mathematics but he was no prodigy. Ahlfors entered the University of Helsinki in 1924, where he was taught by Lindelöf and Nevanlinna . He graduated in 1928 and then left for Zurich with Nevanlinna, who was to replace Weyl there. Ahlfors went to Paris for three months with Nevanlinna, just before he returned to Finland. In Turku he was appointed lecturer in mathematics. He presented his thesis in 1930, and during the two following years he visited Paris again, as well as some other European centers. In 1935 Caratheodory , whom Ahlfors had met during his trips, recommended him for a post in Harvard . Ahlfors accepted the proposition to go for a three-year trial period. In 1936 he was the other one to receive the first Fields medal. Then Ahlfors was offered a mathematical chair in the University of Helsinki. Because he was quite homesick, he accepted this post rather than staying in Harvard. But the World War Two was about to begin and hard times were to follow. The war caused severe problems in Finland and all the universities were closed. Ahlfors wasn't fit for military service, so he could continue working during the war.

    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.

    Fields-Medaille
    ... William Timothy Gowers und Curtis T. McMullen Peter Shor Die Fields-Medaille "Fields-Medaille" ist nur die inoffizielle Bezeichnung der "Internationalen Medaille für herausragende Entdeckungen in der Mathematik". Ihr Namensgeber, der kanadische Mathematiker John C. Fields (1863 - 1932), organisierte den Internationalen Mathematiker-Kongreß von 1924 in Toronto. Fields konnte damals so viele Sponsoren finden, daß am Ende des Kongresses ein Überschuß blieb. Aus diesem Guthaben werden die Medaillen gestiftet. Die erste Fields-Medaille wurde 1936 auf dem Weltkongreß in Oslo vergeben. Wegen der großen Expansion der mathematischen Forschung werden seit 1966 jeweils vier Medaillen pro Weltkongreß vergeben. Die Auszeichnung wird oft als "Nobelpreis für Mathematik" bezeichnet, da die Schwedische Akademie der Wissenschaften Mathematiker nur über den Umweg der Natur- oder Sozialwissenschaften ehren kann; einen eigenen Nobelpreis für Mathematik gibt es nicht. Die Fields-Medaille ist aus Gold und zeigt den Kopf von Archimedes (287 bis 212 v. Chr.) zusammen mit einem Zitat, das ihm zugeschrieben wird: "Transire suum pectus mundoque potiri" (Über seine geistigen Fähigkeiten hinauswachsen und sich der Welt bemächtigen). Die Rückseite trägt den Satz "Congregati ex toto orbe mathematici ob scripta insignia tribuere." (Die aus aller Welt zusammengekommenen Mathematiker verliehen [diese Medaille] auf Grund herausragender Schriften.)
