Lobachevsky Medal
The Lobachevsky Medal for Outstanding Work in the Field of Geometry ( Russian медаль имени Н.И.Лобачевского) is a Russian mathematics award. The Kazan State University awards it in honor of Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky , a mathematics professor and rector there . The prize was launched in 1896 and the medal was first awarded in 1897. It was returned to the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in 1951, and to Kazan State University in 1991. It has been awarded every five years since then. It is endowed (as of 2017) with 75,000 US dollars.
