I think the equivalent of the Nobel prize for Mathematics is the Abel prize not the Fields Medal. The former rewards lifetime achievement.

- kkylin 9y agoTotally agree, but it should be pointed out that unlike the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize is relatively new, and perhaps intentionally set up in a way to invite comparison to the Nobel (whereas the Fields wasn't).
