George Pólya Prize
The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) has three prizes named after George Pólya: the George Pólya Prize for Mathematical Exposition, established in 2013; the George Pólya Prize in Applied Combinatorics, established in 1969, and first awarded in 1971; and the George Pólya Prize in Mathematics, established in 1992, to complement the exposition and applied combinatorics prizes. Frank Harary and William T. Tutte donated money to establish the original 1969 prize in combinatorics. Currently, funding for the three SIAM prizes is provided by the estate of Stella Pólya, the wife of George Pólya. Combinatorics Winners * 1971 Ronald L. Graham, Klaus Leeb, B. L. Rothschild, A. W. Hales, and R. I. Jewett * 1975 Richard P. Stanley, Endre Szemerédi, and Richard M.

Pólya Prize (LMS)
The Pólya Prize is a prize in mathematics, awarded by the London Mathematical Society. Second only to the triennial De Morgan Medal in prestige among the society's awards, it is awarded in the years that are not divisible by three – those in which the De Morgan Medal is not awarded. First given in 1987, the prize is named after Hungarian mathematician George Pólya, who was a member of the society for over 60 years. The prize is awarded "in recognition of outstanding creativity in, imaginative exposition of, or distinguished contribution to, mathematics within the United Kingdom". It cannot be given to anyone who has previously received the De Morgan Medal. List of winners * 1987 John Horton Conway * 1988 C. T. C. Wall * 1990 Graeme B. Segal * 1991 Ian G. Macdonald * 1993 David Rees * 1994 David Williams * 1996 David Edmunds * 1997 John Hammersley * 1999 Simon Donaldson * 2000 Terence Lyons * 2002 Nigel Hitchin * 2003 Angus Macintyre * 2005 Michael Berry * 2006 Peter Swin ...
