CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize
The CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize is the premier Canadian research prize in the mathematical sciences. It is awarded in recognition of exceptional research achievement in the mathematical sciences and is given annually by three Canadian mathematics institutes: the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques (CRM), the Fields Institute, and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS). The prize was established in 1994 by the CRM and the Fields Institute as the CRM-Fields Prize. The prize took its current name when PIMS became a partner in 2005. The prize carries a monetary award of $10,000, funded jointly by the three institutes. The inaugural prize winner was H.S.M. Coxeter. Winners Source: Centre de recherches mathématiques *1995 – H. S.

Canada
Canada is a country in North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering over , making it the world's second-largest country by total area. Its southern and western border with the United States, stretching , is the world's longest binational land border. Canada's capital is Ottawa, and its three largest metropolitan areas are Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. Indigenous peoples have continuously inhabited what is now Canada for thousands of years. Beginning in the 16th century, British and French expeditions explored and later settled along the Atlantic coast. As a consequence of various armed conflicts, France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces an ...

Daniel Wise (mathematician)
Daniel T. Wise (born January 24, 1971) is an American mathematician who specializes in geometric group theory and 3-manifolds. He is a professor of mathematics at McGill University. Education Daniel Wise obtained his PhD from Princeton University in 1996 supervised by Martin Bridson His thesis was titled ''non-positively curved squared complexes, aperiodic tilings, and non-residually finite groups''. Career and research Wise's research has focused on the role of non-positively curved cube complexes within geometric group theory and their interplay with residual finiteness. His early work was taken to higher dimensions when he introduced with Frédéric Haglund the theory of special cube complexes. In 2009 he announced a solution to the virtually fibered conjecture for cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds. This was a consequence of his work on the structure of groups with a quasiconvex hierarchy which proved the virtual specialness of a broad class of hyperbolic groups, and establishe ...
