The Taylor Prize in Mathematics
The Taylor Prize in Mathematics (GWU) is a cash prize awarded annually to a graduate student of mathematics at The George Washington University in Washington, DC. The prize is named after Dr. James Henry Taylor, a professor of mathematics at GW from 1929 to 1958.〔http://www.gwu.edu/~bulletin/grad/opas.html〕
==History==
James Henry Taylor was a mathematics professor at GW from 1929 to 1958 and then professor emeritus until his death in 1972. Several years after his death the president of the university, Dr. Lloyd H. Elliott, along with several of the professors in the Mathematics Department, including Taylor's good friend Fritz Joachim Weyl, decided to create an award in his memory.〔Fritz Joachim Weyl〕 Money was deposited in an account from which the prize funds would be drawn annually. The interest that builds throughout the year on the account makes up the majority of the annual prize. For example, in 1983 first year graduate student Karma Dajani won the prize, which at the time was $500 but when she won the prize again in 1986 it was worth only $300 because interest had not accumulated for as many years.〔http://www.gwu.edu/~math/links/prizes.html〕 Thomas J. Carter became the first recipient of the prize in 1977.
