不知什么原因,诺贝尔奖中没有设立数学奖. 数学界不能容忍自己的研究工作没有最高的评价等级.于是世界上先后设立了两个国际性的数学大奖:一个是国际数学家联合会主持评定的,在四年召开一次的国际数学家大会上颁发的菲尔兹奖;另一个是由沃尔夫基金会设立的一年一度的沃尔夫数学奖.这两个数学大奖的权威性、国际性,以及所享有的荣誉都不亚于诺贝尔奖,因此被世人誉为“数学中的诺贝尔奖”. For unknown reasons, there is no math award in the Nobel Prize. The mathematics community cannot tolerate that their research work does not have the highest rating. Therefore, the world has established two international math awards: one is assessed by the International Federation of Mathematicians. The Fields Prize was awarded at the International Mathematical Congress held four years ago; the other is the annual Wolf Prize for Mathematics established by the Wolf Foundation. The authority of these two mathematical awards Internationality, as well as the honor is no less than the Nobel Prize, so the world is known as “Nobel Prize in mathematics.”
