What follows is a summary of the prizes to be given.
Presented annually by the American Mathematical Society, the Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement is given for the cumulative influence of the total mathematical work of the recipient, high level of research over a period of time, particular influence on the development of a field, and influence on mathematics through Ph.D. students.
Presented annually by the American Mathematical Society, the Steele Prize Mathematical Exposition is given for a book or substantial survey or expository-research paper.
Presented annually by the American Mathematical Society, the Steele Prize for a Seminal Contribution to Research is given for a paper, whether recent or not, that has proved to be of fundamental or lasting importance in its field, or a model of important research.
Presented every three years jointly by the AMS and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the Birkhoff Prize recognizes outstanding contributions to applied mathematics in the highest and broadest sense.
Presented every three years, the Cole Prize in Algebra is one of the highest distinctions for outstanding contributions to the field of abstract algebra.
Presented annually by the American Mathematical Society, the Conant Prize recognizes an outstanding expository paper published in either the NOTICES OF THE AMS or the BULLETIN OF THE AMS in the preceding five years.
Presented every two years, the Award for Distinguished Public Service recognizes a research mathematician who has made a distinguished contribution to the mathematics profession.
