CMS Awards

There are three major mathematical awards in China, HUA Loo-Keng Mathematics Award, CHERN Shiing S. Mathematics Award and ZHONG Jiaqing Mathematics Award. Three committees within Chinese Mathematical Society are responsible for electing the winners of these awards among candidates. These awards have drawn great attentions in the mathematical community of China.
