Leslie Fox Prize for Numerical Analysis
Encyclopedia
The Leslie Fox Prize for Numerical Analysis of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications
(IMA) is a biennial prize established in 1985 by the IMA in honour of mathematician Leslie Fox
(1918-1992). The prize honours "young numerical analysts worldwide" (any person who is less than 31 years old), and applicants submit papers for review. A committee reviews the papers, invites shortlisted candidates to give lectures at the Leslie Fox Prize meeting, and then awards First Prize and Second Prizes based on "mathematical and algorithmic brilliance in tandem with presentational skills."
