  • Prize Is Awarded Every Three Years at the Joint Mathematics Meetings
    AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY LEVI L. CONANT PRIZE This prize was established in 2000 in honor of Levi L. Conant to recognize the best expository paper published in either the Notices of the AMS or the Bulletin of the AMS in the preceding fi ve years. Levi L. Conant (1857–1916) was a math- ematician who taught at Dakota School of Mines for three years and at Worcester Polytechnic Institute for twenty-fi ve years. His will included a bequest to the AMS effective upon his wife’s death, which occurred sixty years after his own demise. Citation Persi Diaconis The Levi L. Conant Prize for 2012 is awarded to Persi Diaconis for his article, “The Markov chain Monte Carlo revolution” (Bulletin Amer. Math. Soc. 46 (2009), no. 2, 179–205). This wonderful article is a lively and engaging overview of modern methods in probability and statistics, and their applications. It opens with a fascinating real- life example: a prison psychologist turns up at Stanford University with encoded messages written by prisoners, and Marc Coram uses the Metropolis algorithm to decrypt them. From there, the article gets even more compelling! After a highly accessible description of Markov chains from fi rst principles, Diaconis colorfully illustrates many of the applications and venues of these ideas. Along the way, he points to some very interesting mathematics and some fascinating open questions, especially about the running time in concrete situ- ations of the Metropolis algorithm, which is a specifi c Monte Carlo method for constructing Markov chains. The article also highlights the use of spectral methods to deduce estimates for the length of the chain needed to achieve mixing.

  • Frank and Brennie Morgan Prize for Outstanding Research in Mathematics by an Undergraduate Student
    AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA SOCIETY FOR INDUSTRIAL AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS FRANK AND BRENNIE MORGAN PRIZE FOR OUTSTANDING RESEARCH IN MATHEMATICS BY AN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT The Frank an d Brennie Morgan Prize for Outstanding Research in Mathematics by an Undergraduate Student recognizes and encourages outstanding mathemat- ical research by undergraduate students. It was endowed by Mrs. Frank Morgan of Allentown, Pennsylvania. Citation Scott Duke Kominers Scott Kominers is the winner of the 2010 Morgan Prize for Outstanding Research by an Undergraduate Student. The award is based on his outstanding and prolifi c record of undergraduate research spanning a broad range of topics, including number theory, computational geometry, and mathematical economics. Kominers already has several published papers in such journals as Proceedings of the AMS, Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux, International Journal of Number Theory, and Integers. His work on extremal lattices sheds new light on some problems that have been extensively investigated in recent years, and his work (with collaborators) on “hinged dissections” resolves a problem going back to 1864. In addition to his mathematical work, Kominers has published papers in musi- cology as well as puzzles and haikus. He graduated in 2009 from Harvard, and is engaged in doctoral studies in mathematical economics. Biographical Note Scott Duke Kominers grew up in Bethesda, Maryland, attending Walt Whitman High School, where his teacher Susan Schwartz Wildstrom crystallized Scott’s interest in mathematics. Scott’s fi rst research experience occurred at the 2004 Research Science Institute at MIT, at which he wrote a paper in quadratic form representation theory for which he won the AMS’s Karl Menger Prize.
