Prêmio Fermat
Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.
O Prêmio Fermat de pesquisa matemática recompensa trabalhos de pesquisa nos campos em que Pierre de Fermat teve fundamental importância:
- Definições em cálculo de variações
- Fundamentos da probabilidade e geometria analítica
- Teoria dos números.
O espírito norteador do prêmio é focado na recompensa dos resultados de pesquisas acessíveis ao maior número de matemáticos profissionais nas três áreas acima. O Prêmio Fermat foi criado em 1989 e é concedido a cada dois anos em Toulouse pelo Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse. Foi dotado em 20 000 Euros para a décima primeira edição (2009).
Agraciados [editar]

Prêmio Fermat Junior [editar]
The Junior Fermat Prize is a mathematical prize, awarded every two years to a student in the first three years of university for a contribution to mathematics. The amount of the prize is 2000 Euros.
