The Adams Prize is a prize[1] awarded each year by the Faculty of Mathematics at
St John's College to a UK-based mathematician for distinguished research in mathematical sciences.
The prize is named after the mathematician
John Couch Adams and was endowed by members of St John's College and approved by the senate of the university in 1848, to commemorate Adams'
role in the discovery of the planet
Neptune. Originally open only to Cambridge graduates, the current stipulation is that the mathematician must reside in the UK and be under forty years of age. As of 2012[update], the prize was worth approximately £14,000.[2]
The Adams Prize is awarded in three parts: the first is paid directly to the candidate; another third is paid to the candidate's institution to fund research expenses; and the final third is paid on publication of a survey paper in the winner's field in a major mathematics journal.
The complete list of prize winners can be found on the
