Lagrange Prize

Lagrange Prize. The Lagrange Prize is a prestigious award presented by the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) to recognize outstanding contributions to applied mathematics and computational science. This award is named after the renowned Joseph-Louis Lagrange, a prominent mathematician and astronomer who made significant contributions to classical mechanics, number theory, and algebra. The Lagrange Prize is considered one of the most esteemed awards in the field of applied mathematics, alongside the Fields Medal and the Abel Prize, which are presented by the International Mathematical Union (IMU) and the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA), respectively.

● Introduction to

the Lagrange Prize The Lagrange Prize is awarded every four years to a mathematician or scientist who has made exceptional contributions to applied mathematics and computational science, as recognized by the European Mathematical Society (EMS) and the American Mathematical Society (AMS). The prize is presented at the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM), which is organized by the ICIAM and attracts prominent mathematicians and scientists from around the world, including Andrew Wiles, Grigori Perelman, and Terence Tao. The Lagrange Prize is sponsored by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and the European Mathematical Society (EMS), with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the European Research Council (ERC). The prize is also recognized by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) and the London Mathematical Society (LMS).

● History of

the Lagrange Prize The Lagrange Prize was established in 1999 by the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) to commemorate the contributions of Joseph-Louis Lagrange to applied mathematics and computational science. The first Lagrange Prize was awarded in 2003 to Martin Kruskal, a prominent mathematician and physicist who made significant contributions to soliton theory and plasma physics, as recognized by the American Physical Society (APS) and the Institute of Physics (IOP). Since then, the prize has been awarded to several distinguished mathematicians and scientists, including Ingrid Daubechies, David Donoho, and Yann LeCun, who have made outstanding contributions to wavelet theory, signal processing, and machine learning, as recognized by the IEEE and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

● Eligibility and Selection Criteria

The Lagrange Prize is open to mathematicians and scientists from around the world, including University of Cambridge and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers, who have made significant contributions to applied mathematics and computational science. The selection criteria for the prize include the impact of the nominee's work on the field, as recognized by the Royal Society and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), as well as their contributions to the development of new mathematical and computational techniques, as recognized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and the European Mathematical Society (EMS). The nominees are selected by a committee of prominent mathematicians and scientists, including Andrew Wiles, Grigori Perelman, and Terence Tao, who are members of the International Mathematical Union (IMU) and the American Mathematical Society (AMS).
