David P. Robbins Prize
The David P. Robbins Prize for papers reporting novel research in algebra, combinatorics, or discrete mathematics is awarded both by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). The AMS award recognizes papers with a significant experimental component on a topic which is broadly accessible which provide a simple statement of the problem and clear exposition of the work. Papers eligible for the MAA award are judged on quality of research, clarity of exposition, and accessibility to undergraduates. Both awards consist of $5000 and are awarded once every three years. They are named in the honor of David P. Robbins and were established in 2005 by the members of his family.
