Leelavati Award
The Leelavati Award is an award for outstanding contribution to public outreach in mathematics. It is named after the 12th-century mathematical treatise "Lilavati" devoted to arithmetic and algebra written by the Indian mathematician Bhāskara II, also known as Bhaskara Achārya. In the book the author posed, in verse form, a series of problems in (elementary) arithmetic to one Leelavati (perhaps his daughter) and followed them up with hints to solutions. This work appears to have been the main source of learning arithmetic and algebra in medieval India. The work was also translated into Persian and was influential in West Asia.
==History==
The Leelavati Prize was handed out for the first time at the closing ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2010 in Hyderabad, India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Leelavati Award for public outreach on mathematics )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 International math prize named after Leelavati )〕 Established by the Executive Organising Committee (EOC) of the ICM with the endorsement of the IMU Executive Committee (EC), the Leelavati Prize started out to be a one-time international award for outstanding public outreach work for mathematics. The award was so well-received at the conferenece and in the mathematical press that the IMU EC decided to turn the prize into a recurring four-yearly award and the award ceremony a regular feature of every ICM closing ceremony.
