HAMILTON PRIZES (ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY)

The Royal Irish Academy/Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann (National Committee for Mathematics) has obtained sponsorship from DePfa Bank Europe plc, a German financial institution with headquarters in the IFSC in Dublin, to provide prizes annually to students of Mathematics in each of the nine Irish Universities and to fund an annual lecture, the Hamilton Lecture, to be given by a distinguished international mathematician.  The sponsorship commenced in 2002 and is to be provided for the next five years.  The student prize will be called the Hamilton Prize in Mathematics and is worth €1,000 to each student. It is hoped that both of these initiatives will form part of a new range of activities to celebrate Hamilton’s life and contribution to Mathematics and will as far as possible be scheduled on or around October 16 ^th, the day Hamilton scratched his fundamental formula for quaternion multiplication on Broome Bridge in Dublin. 

Nine prizes will be awarded each year.  Each University Mathematics School will be invited to nominate its "best" student in the penultimate year of undergraduate mathematical studies. It is not envisaged that the prize within each University be restricted to "single honours" students of Mathematics, or indeed that any special competition be devised. The selection of the best student will normally be based either on the results of the annual assessment of the year’s performance or on the best performance in the ordinary University examinations in Mathematics at the end of the penultimate year.  However, it is left to the discretion of the School of Mathematics in each of the Universities to decide on the most  appropriate method of selecting which student should be awarded the prize in each case.

It is envisaged that each School will publicise the award, and announce the criteria used to determine the prize-winner within each University.  The Academy wishes to receive from each Head of School the name of one, and only one, prizewinning student by the end of June each year, on completion of the student's penultimate year of study of Mathematics.  The Academy intends to hold a prize-giving ceremony in Academy House on or near October 16 ^th in each year, the anniversary of Hamilton's famous walk.  It is expected that all nine prize-winners, who should then be in their final year of study, will attend this ceremony.

Hamilton Lecture

The Academy is in a position, thanks to the sponsorship of DePfa Bank, to fund the visit of an eminent mathematician from abroad to participate in the day’s activities.  This person, possibly a Fields Medallist or a mathematician of similar stature, will deliver a public lecture at a venue in central Dublin.  He/she will also present the Hamilton Prizes to the students.  It may also be possible to have the visitor deliver a seminar in Academy House, to an invited audience of professional mathematicians, around the same time. Further details will be advised when available.
