I am very pleased to announce that I have been awarded the Alternative Fields Medal in recognition of “Excellence in exposition of mathematics to a popular audience.” The award cites my various books as well as my participation on MathOverflow, mentioning that I have made nearly 2000 posts there since 2010, reaching 5.8 million viewers.
As a long term reader of your blog, I like to express my congratulations on receiving this award.
Best wishes also for the future!
Thank you so much! Glad for the vote of confidence.
Congratulations. You deserve the honor in my unhumble opinion.
And a big thank you for letting me know about the Alternative Fields, a brilliant idea!
Can the public help support it in some way? The dearth of awards is a black eye in our larger math community.
Competitions are just more high school sports. We are not jocks.
