Prêmio Wolf de Matemática

O Prêmio Wolf de Matemática é concedido quase anualmente pela Fundação Wolf em Israel. É um dos seis Prêmios Wolf estabelecidos pela fundação e concedido desde 1978; os outros são em Agronomia, Artes, Física, Medicina e Química. Até o estabelecimento do Prêmio Abel, foi provavelmente o mais próximo equivalente a um "Nobel de Matemática", pois a mais prestigiosa Medalha Fields é concedida somente a cada quatro anos a matemáticos com menos de 40 anos de idade.
