Alexanderson Award
The Alexanderson Award[1] is given annually by the American Institute of Mathematics.
The award was instituted in 2018. It honors outstanding research articles arising from AIM research activities (workshop, research community, or SQuaRE) which have been published within the past three years.[2]
Motivation
The award was conceived of by John Fry in order to honor Gerald L. Alexanderson,[2] Professor at Santa Clara University and founding chair of AIM's board of trustees.
Prize
Winners of the Alexanderson Award are given a medal, a cash prize and a trip to Bock Cay in the Bahamas.[2]
