The Abel Prize ((:ˈɑːbəl)) is an international prize awarded annually by the Government of Norway to one or more outstanding mathematicians.〔(Statutter for Holbergprisen )〕 Named after Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802–29), the award was established in 2001 by the Government of Norway and complements its sister prize in the humanities, the Holberg Prize. Along with the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize has often been described as the mathematician's "Nobel Prize". It comes with a monetary award of 6 million Norwegian kroner (NOK) (US$737,400).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Google Currency Converter )〕 The prize board has also established an Abel symposium, administered by the Norwegian Mathematical Society.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Main Page )〕 The award ceremony takes place in the Atrium of the University of Oslo Faculty of Law, where the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded between 1947 and 1989.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=University of Oslo )〕 The establishment of the Abel Prize was first proposed by Sophus Lie (1842–1899) in 1899 when he learned that Alfred Nobel's plans for annual prizes would not include a prize in mathematics. Lie's death marked an interruption in the establishment of the award, and King Oscar II's attempt to establish the award in 1902 was unsuccessful, complicated by the dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway three years later. == Selection criteria == The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters declares the winner of the Abel Prize each March after selection by a committee of five international mathematicians. The committee is headed by Ragni Piene. The International Mathematical Union and the European Mathematical Society nominate members of the Abel Committee. The Norwegian Government gave the prize an initial funding of NOK 200 million (about US$23 million) in 2001. The funding is controlled by the Board, which consists of members elected by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nomination Guidelines )〕 Anyone may submit a nomination, but self-nomination is not allowed. The nominee must be alive; however, if the awardee dies after being declared as the winner, the prize is awarded posthumously. The Abel Laureate is decided by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters based on the recommendation of the Abel Committee. Both Norwegians and non-Norwegians may serve on the Committee; they are elected by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters and nominated by the International Mathematical Union and the European Mathematical Society.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of the Abel Prize )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abel Prize」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
