The Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics goes to Daniel A. Spielman, for multiple discoveries in theoretical computer science and mathematics.
Key Points:
- The Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics goes to Daniel A. Spielman, for multiple discoveries in theoretical computer science and mathematics.
- The Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics is shared by Charles H. Bennett, Gilles Brassard,David Deutsch and Peter Shorfor their foundational work in quantum information.
- And important contributions from early-career scientists are also recognized, with six New Horizons Prizes in Physics and Mathematics and three Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prizes awarded for women mathematicians who have recently completed their doctorates.
- Each of the five main prizes is $3 million, and the addition of the early-career awards brings this year's total prizes to $15.75 million.
