who do you think are respectable candidates for this year?
:rofl:loop quantum gravity said:well, i believe that the poor are in need for the extra millions and not some old mathematical geezer.
but that's my opinion, although be it radical.
Why should the Abel Prize try to compete with the Fields medal?JasonRox said:I think they should look at the young guns.
*sigh* mathematicians are poor too! They deserve to have a lot more than they do.loop quantum gravity said:well, i believe that the poor are in need for the extra millions and not some old mathematical geezer.

The Abel Prize is a prestigious international mathematics prize awarded annually by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. It was established in 2002 and is often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of Mathematics". The 2006 Abel Prize was given to mathematician Lennart Carleson for his groundbreaking work in the field of complex analysis.
Lennart Carleson was a Swedish mathematician who was born in 1928. He was a professor at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and later at the University of Uppsala. He made significant contributions to the field of complex analysis and is best known for his work on the Carleson-Hunt theorem.
Complex analysis is a branch of mathematics that deals with functions of complex numbers. It is a fundamental area of mathematics that has applications in physics, engineering, and other sciences. It involves the study of complex-valued functions, complex differentiation and integration, and complex power series.
The winner of the Abel Prize is chosen by an international committee of mathematicians appointed by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. The committee considers nominations from mathematicians around the world and selects a winner based on their contributions to the field of mathematics.
The Abel Prize is one of the most prestigious awards in mathematics and is often considered equivalent to the Nobel Prize in other fields. It recognizes and celebrates the achievements of outstanding mathematicians and helps to promote the importance of mathematics in society. It also comes with a substantial monetary award of 6 million Norwegian kroner (approximately 750,000 USD).
