诺贝尔奖没有数学奖,因此,4年一次在国际数学家大会上颁发的菲尔兹奖常被说成是数学的诺贝尔奖。不过,菲尔兹奖只奖给40岁以下的青年数学家,只能代表他们的早期成就,不足以反映他们日后的工作。一位数学家如果获得重大突破是在40岁之后,那也会与菲尔兹奖失之交臂。应该说, The Nobel Prize does not have a math award, so the once-a-year Fields Medal presented at the International Mathematicians Conference is often said to be the mathematical Nobel Prize. However, the Fields Medal, awarded only to young mathematicians under the age of 40, can only represent their early achievements and not enough to reflect their future work. If a mathematician made a major breakthrough after the age of 40, it would also miss the Fields Medal. should say,
