The medals were presented during the International Congress of Mathematicians, held August 3 through 11 in Zurich, Switzerland. The Fields Medalsofficially known as the International Medals for Outstanding Discoveries in Mathematicsare presented every four years to two to four individuals under the age of 40 in recognition of both their existing work and the promise of future achievements. Unlike the Nobel and other big prizes, however, the Fields Medals carry no monetary award. Winners are decided upon by a committee within the International Mathematical Uniona professional mathematical society of worldwide membership, headquartered this year in Rio de Janiero, Brazilwhich arranges the International Congress. Thirty-four individuals have been honored since 1936.

Devlin's Angle July/August 2001 Witten at 50 Edward Witten the man who has often been described as the Isaac Newton of the modern age celebrates his fiftieth birthday on Saturday 26 August this year. I am sure that many mathematicians will want to join with me in wishing him the very best as he passes the half-century mark. Which, on the face of it, is a little odd, since Witten is not a mathematician but a physicist, a Professor in the School of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Why would mathematicians want to celebrate the birthday of a physicist other than the obvious fact that it's always good to have an excuse for a party? Can Witten really be compared to the great Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century genius who brought us not only powerful scientific theories of light and of gravity but calculus as well? I believe the comparison is entirely apt, in several ways. First, though, a few words about Witten the man. He was born 26 August 1951 in Baltimore, Maryland. He studied at Brandeis University, where he received his BA in 1971. From Brandeis he went to Princeton, where he received an MA in 1974 and a Ph.D. in 1976. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard for 1976-77, then a junior Fellow there for 1977-80. In 1980 he was appointed a Professor at Princeton University, from where he moved across town to the Institute for Advanced Study in 1987. Now to the comparison of Witten with Newton. Although there is no doubt that Witten is a physicist, like Newton he is a powerful mathematician. Very much in the tradition of Newton, Witten's mathematics arises out of physics he does his mathematics in order to advance his and hence our understanding of the universe. The British mathematician Sir Michael Atiyah has written of Witten that:

De FieldsMedal Arthur van Dam [Homepage] Oktober 1997 Bibliotheek-opdracht 1 e jaar Computational Science De geschiedenis van de Fields medal John Charles Fields, waarschijnlijk de eerste bekende wiskundige uit Canada, werd op 14 mei 1963 in de staat Ontario geboren. Na zijn middelbare schoolperiode haalde hij in 1884 zijn doctoraal in de wiskunde aan de universiteit van Toronto. Hierna deed hij onderzoek aan de ‘John Hopkins University’ waar hij in 1887 de graad ‘Doctor of Philosophy’ haalde. Hij bleef nog twee jaar aan deze universiteit als leraar, waarna hij dit werk voortzette aan het ‘Allegheny College’. In 1892 vertrok Fields voor een periode van tien jaar naar Europa om wiskundig onderzoek te doen. Dit is een belangrijke periode in zijn leven geweest. Hij deed veel nieuwe contacten op en maakte kennis met veel beroemde wetenschappers, als Fuchs, Schwarz en Max Planck. Van zijn contacten uit die periode was de wiskundige Magnus Gotha Mittag-Leffler de belangrijkste. In 1902 keerde Fields weer terug naar Canada, waar hij als speciaal docent aan de universiteit van Toronto lesgaf. In 1923 werd hij hier benoemd tot research professor en hij is tot aan zijn dood in 1932 aan de universiteit gebleven. Naast zijn universitaire benoemingen, nam Fields in de maatschappij ook een belangrijke positie in. In 1907 werd hij benoemd tot ‘fellow of the Royal Society of Canada’ en in 1913 tot ‘fellow of the Royal Society of London’.

Howe Building 11th Floor, East Tower 235 Queen Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0H5 allanrocke@rogers.com Dear Prime Minister, Dear Governor General, and Dear Minister of Industry, The Fields Medal is the highest recognition that the world mathematics community offers for research in mathematics, and in prestige it rivals the Nobel Prize (which is not given in mathematics). Unfortunately, few are aware that J. C. Fields was a Canadian, that the Fields Medal was a Canadian idea, and that the Fields Foundation is located in Canada. This is in sharp contrast with the Nobel Prize which is usually announced and presented by the King of Sweden. Recently, the Norwegian Prime Minister, Mr. Jens Stoltenberg, has taken the lead by granting US$ 22 million to fund the Abel prize: a new international prize in mathematics that is supposed to serve as the counterpart of the Nobel Prize for our discipline. This is in sharp contrast with the token monetary value of the Fields medal.

Fields Medal awarded to Springer author Laurent Lafforgue receives "Nobel Prize in Mathematics" at the International Congress in Beijing Beijing/Heidelberg, August 20, 2002. The French mathematician Laurent Lafforgue has received the Fields Medal at this year's International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing. The prize, accompanied by 15,000 Canadian dollars (10,000 euro), is known as the "Nobel Prize in Mathematics". Lafforgue is honoured for his proof of Langlands' correspondence for GLr over function fields. The main results of his work are published in the journal Inventiones mathematicae by Springer-Verlag. In this year's January issue, the journal dedicated 241 pages to Lafforgue's field of research. The Fields Medal is awarded every four years at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM), the last one taking place in 1998 in Berlin. Named after the Canadian mathematician John C. Fields, the medal was first awarded at the International Congress in Oslo, in 1936. Up to four mathematicians under the age of forty can be honoured with the prize. Besides Lafforgue, the Russian mathematician Vladimir Voevodsky has received this year's internationally renowned award. The journal Inventiones mathematicae , including Lafforgue's work Chtoucas de Drinfeld et correspondence de Langlands , is now available online at Springer: http://link.springer.de/journals/invmath/

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: Henry S. Tropp, " The Origins and History of the Fields Medal ", Historia Mathematica 3 (1976) 167-181.

Hopfield, one of the world's top physicists who has successfully crossed interdisciplinary boundaries (he is a professor in the department of molecular biology at Princeton University), is the recipient of the 2001 Dirac Medal. The citation announcing the award states that Hopfield "has made important contributions in an impressively broad spectra of scientific subjects." After his early research on light-emitting diodes, Hopfield turned to biology, where his 'Hopfield model' of neural processing demonstrated "how qualitatively different computation in a computer and in the brain could be." For additional information about the Dirac Medal, see the Centre's web page . The award ceremony will take place at a later date.
