is the Fields Medal actually an incentive for young mathemticians to dedicate all of their guts to maths and thus die out of energy?
i'm a little bit philosophizing here, but back then when the prize just started, those who loved maths didn't do it for the money, but can we say that today young mathemticians do maths because of love or love of money?
