David P. Robbins Prize (AMS)
The David P. Robbins Prize is a mathematics award from the American Mathematical Society .
The prize is awarded for outstanding work in algebra , combinatorics or discrete mathematics with an experimental component. The topic should not be too specific ( broadly accessible ) and the work should be characterized by a clear presentation and simple explanation of the problem.
The prize is endowed with $ 5,000 and is awarded every three years.
It is named after David P. Robbins , a mathematician at the Institute for Defense Analyzes , whose work is largely classified as secret and who died in 2003. A prize of the same name is awarded by the Mathematical Association of America, see David P. Robbins Prize (MAA) .
