Joseph L. Doob Prize
The Joseph L. Doob Prize of the American Mathematical Society has been awarded every three years since 2011 (before that at shorter intervals) for an outstanding research monograph. It is named after Joseph L. Doob and donated by Paul Halmos . The prize is endowed with $ 5,000. It was first awarded in 2009. The book may not be older than six years at the time it is awarded.
