Krieger-Nelson Prize

Krieger-Nelson Prize

The Krieger-Nelson Prize is presented by the Canadian Mathematical Societyin recognition of an outstanding female in mathematics. It was firstawarded in 1995.The award is named after Cecilia Krieger and
Evelyn Nelson, both known for theircontributions to mathematics in Canada. [http://www.cms.math.ca/Prizes/info/kn.html Krieger-Nelson Prize] , Canadian Mathematical Society.]

Recipients

While the award has largely been awarded to a female mathematician workingat a Canadian University,it has also been awarded to Canadian-born or -educated women workingoutside of the country. For example, Cathleen Morawetz,past president of the American Mathematical Society, and a faculty member at the
Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (a division of New York University) was awarded the Krieger-Nelson Prize in 1997.(Morawetz was educated at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada).According to the call for applications, the award winner should be a "member of the Canadian mathematical community".

The recipient of the Krieger-Nelson Prize delivers a lecture to the Canadian Mathematical Society, typically during its summer meeting.
