Five scientists have been awarded the first Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics, which carries $3-million in awards for each recipient, reports The New York Times. The award was established by Yuri Milner, a Russian entrepreneur, and Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook.
It is the third in a collection of similar awards established by Mr. Milner; in 2012 his foundation established a prize for achievement in physics, and last year, in concert with a group of Internet entrepreneurs including Mr. Zuckerberg, he began an award for the life sciences.
The five winners are: Simon Donaldson, of the State University of New York at Stony Brook and Imperial College London; Maxim Kontsevich, of the Institute of Advanced Scientific Studies, in France; Jacob Lurie, of Harvard University; Terence Tao, of the University of California at Los Angeles; and Richard Taylor, of the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, N.J.
Starting next year, Mr. Milner said, eight Breakthrough Prizes will be awarded each year: six in the life sciences, one in physics, and one in mathematics. Each will carry a $3-million award.

The 2014 Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences was given to George Lusztig, Abdun Nur Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Lusztig has already contributed a lot to get answers of basic questions arising in the representation theory of the structures.
By applying method of algebra and Lie theory among other methods, Lusztig has successfully got to know about the characters of the various Lie theoretical structures..
Along with a medal, winners also receive US$1 million in prize money to be shared among fellow winners in the same category. It was in 2002 when the Shaw Prize was established by Run Run Shaw, an Asian media mogul.
Winners will receive their awards in Hong Kong at the 11th annual ceremony on September 24, 2014.
