Fermat price
The Fermat Prize of the University of Toulouse is awarded every two years for special mathematical achievements in the areas of work of Pierre de Fermat : establishing the principles of variation ( calculus of variations ), number theory , fundamentals of probability and analytical geometry . It is endowed with 20,000 euros.
There is also a Pierre Fermat Medal from the Académie des sciences inscriptions et belles lettres de Toulouse , which Linus Pauling received in 1957 (as the sixth ever) .
