WONDER - Wiskunde Onderzoekschool Nederland - The Dutch Research School in Mathematics

WONDER prizes for PhD research

Every year, WONDER will hand out two prizes to PhD students who successfully finished their thesis in that year.

All Dutch PhD theses in mathematics automatically participate in this competition.

The Stieltjes PhD Prize, on behalf of the Foundation Compositio Mathematica, is the anual prize for the best PhD thesis. The prize consists of €2500 in cash, and a research talk to be given at one of the WONDER activities.

The Schoonschip Stimulansprijs, on behalf of the Foundation CAN (Computer Algebra Nederland), is the anual prize for the best thesis that makes use of, or contributes to the development of, computer algebra. It is named after the program "Schoonschip" of Tinny Veltman, one of the first symbolic algebra programs in the world. The prize consists of €1000 in cash.

Selection committee: Wieb Bosma, Michel Dekking, Aernout van Enter, Tom Koornwinder, Frans Oort (chairman), Fred Bakker (secretary)
