It is named after the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829) who found that there is no explicit formula for the roots of a general polynomial of degree five. The financial support of the Abel Prize is comparable with the Nobel Prize, i.e., about one million American dollars. Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829) M. Křížek a kol.: Prvních deset Abelových cen za matematiku, JČMF, Praha, 2013 87 Already in 1899, another famous Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie proposed to establish an Abel Prize, when he learned that Alfred Nobel would not include a prize in mathematics among his five proposed Nobel Prizes.

  • 1 Getting a Knighthood
    Getting a knighthood (Bristol, June 1996) It's unreal, isn't it? I've always had a strong sense of the ridiculous, of the absurd, and this is working overtime now. Many of you must have been thinking, ‘Why Berry?’ Well, since I am the least knightly person I know, I have been asking the same question, and although I haven't come up with an answer I can offer a few thoughts. How does a scientist get this sort of national recognition? One way is to do something useful to the nation, that everyone agrees is important to the national well- being or even survival. Our home-grown example is of course Sir Charles Frank's war work. Or, one can sacrifice several years of one's life doing high-level scientific administration, not always received with gratitude by the scientific hoi polloi but important to the smooth running of the enterprise. Sir John Kingman is in this category. Another way – at least according to vulgar mythology – is to have the right family background. Well, my father drove a cab in London and my mother ruined her eyes as a dressmaker. Another way is to win the Nobel Prize or one of the other huge awards like the Wolf or King Faisal prizes, like Sir George Porter as he then was, or Sir Michael Atiyah. The principle here I suppose is, to those that have, more shall be given. I don't qualify on any of these grounds. The nearest I come is to have have won an fairly large number of smaller awards.

  • The Routledge Companion to Actor-Network Theory
    The Routledge Companion to Actor-Network Theory This companion explores ANT as an intellectual practice, tracking its movements and engagements with a wide range of other academic and activist projects. Showcasing the work of a diverse set of ‘second generation’ ANT scholars from around the world, it highlights the exciting depth and breadth of contemporary ANT and its future possibilities. The companion has 38 chapters, each answering a key question about ANT and its capacities. Early chapters explore ANT as an intellectual practice and highlight ANT’s dialogues with other fields and key theorists. Others open critical, provocative discussions of its limitations. Later sections explore how ANT has been developed in a range of so cial scientific fields and how it has been used to explore a wide range of scales and sites. Chapters in the final section discuss ANT’s involvement in ‘real world’ endeavours such as disability and environmental activism, and even running a Chilean hospital. Each chapter contains an overview of relevant work and introduces original examples and ideas from the authors’ recent research. The chapters orient readers in rich, complex fields and can be read in any order or combination. Throughout the volume, authors mobilise ANT to explore and account for a range of exciting case studies: from wheelchair activism to parliamentary decision-making; from racial profiling to energy consumption monitoring; from queer sex to Korean cities. A comprehensive introduction by the editors explores the significance of ANT more broadly and provides an overview of the volume. The Routledge Companion to Actor-Network Theory will be an inspiring and lively companion to aca- demics and advanced undergraduates and postgraduates from across many disciplines across the social sciences, including Sociology, Geography, Politics and Urban Studies, Environmental Studies and STS, and anyone wishing to engage with ANT, to understand what it has already been used to do and to imagine what it might do in the future.
