  • The Adams Prize is awarded each year by the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge and St John's College to a young, UK based mathematician for first-class international research in the Mathematical Sciences. The Prize is named after the mathematician John Couch Adams and was endowed by members of St John's College. It was approved by the senate of the university in 1848, to commemorate Adams' discovery of the planet Neptune. Originally open only to Cambridge graduates the current stipulation is that the mathematician must be resident in the UK, and under 40 years of age. Each year applications are invited from mathematicians who have worked in a specific area of mathematics. As of 2009 it is worth £13,000, and the prize is awarded in three parts. The first third is paid directly to the candidate, another third 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 prize has been awarded to many well known mathematicians including James Clerk Maxwell and Sir William Hodge. However the first female mathematician to win the prize was only in 2002 when it was awarded to Susan Howson a lecturer at the University of Nottingham for her work on number theory and elliptic curves.
  • Le prix Adams est attribué chaque année par la faculté de mathématiques de l'université de Cambridge et le St John's College à un jeune mathématicien du Royaume-Uni pour des travaux d'importance internationale. Le prix est nommé en l'honneur du mathématicien John Couch Adams et est doté par le St John's College. Il a été créé en 1848 par l'Université pour commémorer la découverte de Neptune par Adams. Au départ ouvert uniquement aux diplômés de Cambridge, le prix est maintenant ouvert à tout mathématicien résidant au Royaume-Uni et âgé de moins de quarante ans. En 2004 le prix était doté de 15000 livres sterling réparties en trois tiers. La première partie est payée directement au lauréat, un deuxième tiers pour doter le fond de recherche de l'institution dans laquelle travaille le lauréat et la dernière partie est versé à la publication d'un article d'au moins 25 pages dans un journal mathématique international majeur. Le prix a été décerné à de célèbres scientifiques tels que James Clerk Maxwell ou William Hodge. La première femme à être récompensée fut Susan Howson de l'université de Nottingham pour ses travaux sur la théorie des nombres et les courbes elliptiques, en 2002.
