The price Abel is a reward decreed annually with the Mathématicien S by the Norwegian Académie of sciences and the letters.

Creation

In 2001, the Norwegian government announced that at the time of the bicentenary of the birth of the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802) would be created a new price for the mathematicians. The purpose of this creation is to fill the absence of Nobel Prize in Mathématiques, although it is considered however that the Médaille Fields is the equivalent.

The price

The price is decreed by the Norwegian Academy of sciences and the letters. The selection committee is composed of five international mathematicians. The price is decreed in November by the King de Norvège and is worth 6 million Norwegian crowns, i.e. approximately 730.000 Euro S). Norway gave for the price an initial equipment of 200 million Norwegian crowns (approximately 25 million Euro S).
