Medali Fields 1966

Penghargaan Medali Fields tahun 1966 diberikan kepada :


Michael Francis ATIYAH (Inggiris)
(Oxford University) -

Topik Penelitian: with Hirzebruch in K-theory; proved jointly with Singer the index theorem of elliptic operators on complex manifolds; worked in collaboration with Bott to prove a fixed point theorem related to the "Lefschetz formula".

Paul Joseph COHEN (Amerika Serikat)
(Stanford University) -

Topik Penelitian: Used technique called "forcing" to prove the independence in set theory of the axiom of choice and of the generalized continuum hypothesis. The latter problem was the first of Hilbert's problems of the 1900 Congress.


Alexander GROTHENDIECK (Perancis)
(University of Paris) -

Topik Penelitian: Built on work of Weil and Zariski and effected fundamental advances in algebraic geometry. He introduced the idea of K-theory (the Grothendieck groups and rings). Revolutionized homological algebra in his celebrated "Tohoku paper".

Stephen SMALE (Amerika Serikat)
(University of California, Berkeley)

Topik Penelitian: Worked in differential topology where he proved the generalized Poincaré conjecture in dimension n>=5: Every closed, n-dimensional manifold homotopy-equivalent to the n-dimensional sphere is homeomorphic to it. Introduced the method of handle-bodies to solve this and related problems.

Medali Fields 1962

Penghargaan Medali Fields tahun 1962 diberikan kepada :


Lars HÖRMANDER (Swedia)
(Stockholm University)

Topik Penelitian: Partial differential equations. Specifically, contributed to the general theory of linear differential operators. The questions go back to one of Hilbert's problems at the 1900 congress.




John Willard MILNOR (Amerika Serikat)
(Princeton University)

Topik Penelitian: Proved that a 7-dimensional sphere can have several differential structures; this led to the creation of the field of differential topology.

Medali Fields 1958

Penghargaan Medali Fields tahun 1958 diberikan kepada :


Klaus Friedrich ROTH (Inggris)
(University of London) -

Topik Penelitian: The approximation to algebraic numbers by rational numbers. Proved that a sequence with no three numbers in arithmetic progression has zero density.





René THOM (Perancis)
(University of Strasbourg)

Topik Penelitian: Invented and developed the theory of cobordism in algebraic topology. This classification of manifolds used homotopy theory in a fundamental way and became a prime example of a general cohomology theory.

Medali Fields 1954

Penghargaan Medali Fields tahun 1954 diberikan kepada :


Kunihiko KODAIRA (Jepang)
(Princeton University)

Topik Penelitian: The theory of harmonic integrals and numerous applications to Kählerian and more specifically to algebraic varieties. He demonstrated, by sheaf cohomology, that such varieties are Hodge manifolds.






Jean-Pierre SERRE (Perancis)
(Collège de France) -

Topik Penelitian: The homotopy groups of spheres, especially in his use of the method of spectral sequences. Reformulated and extended some of the main results of complex variable theory in terms of sheaves.

Medali Fields 1950

Penghargaan Medali Fields tahun 1950 diberikan kepada :



Laurent SCHWARTZ (Perancis)
(University of Nancy)

Topik Penelitian: The theory of distributions, a new notion of generalized function motivated by the Dirac delta-function of theoretical physics.





Atle SELBERG (Norwegia)
(Institute for Advanced Study)

Topik Penelitian : Generalizations of the sieve methods of Viggo Brun; On zeros of the Riemann zeta function; Proof of the prime number theorem (with P. Erdös), with a generalization to prime numbers in an arbitrary arithmetic progression.

Medali Fields 1932

Penghargaan Medali Fields tahun 1932 diberikan kepada :


Lars Valerian AHLFORS (Finlandia)
(Harvard University)

Topik Penelitian: Covering surfaces related to Riemann surfaces of inverse functions of entire and meromorphic functions.








Jesse DOUGLAS (Amerika Serikat)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

Topik Penelitian : The Plateau problem which is concerned with finding minimal surfaces connecting and determined by some fixed boundary.

Medali Fields: Nobelnya Matematika

Medali Fields (The Fields Medal) merupakan penghargaan utama dalam matematika, yang kadang disebut sebagai hadiah nobelnya matematika. Ssst... ada gosip yang beredar: kenapa matematika tidak termasuk salah satu bidang yang diberi hadiah Nobel? Katanya sih karena istri Alfred Nobel dulu pernah berselingkuh dengan seorang matematikawan, gitu. Namanya juga gosip, boleh percaya boleh tidak.

Penghargaan ini didirikan oleh JOHN CHARLES FIELDS. Pada Januari 1932 meski ide penghargaan berasal dari kelompok matematika Perancis, Jerman, Italia, Swiss dan Amerika Serikat. Medali Fields diberikan kepada matematikawan yang usianya tidak lebih dari 40 tahun. Medali Fileds pertama kali diberikan pada Kongres Internasional tahun 1936. Penghargaan diberikan setiap empat tahun sekali. Oleh karena perang dunia, penghargaan ini sempat terhenti dan diberikan kembali tahun 1950.
