ICCM Medal of Mathematics

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ICCM Medal of Mathematics (Morningside Medal until 2016) is an award in mathematics awarded every three years at the International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM). There is a gold and a silver medal with endowments of $ 25,000 and $ 10,000, respectively. The medal shows a Möbius strip and a fundamental area of the module group. It has been awarded since 1998. The mathematician should be of Chinese origin and under 45 years of age. It was first awarded in 1998 at the first ICCM in Beijing .

The selection committee included Shing-Tung Yau . The winners will give lectures at the ICCM.

It was named after the sponsor, the Morningside Group (Hong Kong) venture capital firm.
