File:AlexandersonAwardMedal.jpg

The Alexanderson Award{{cite web | title= Alexanderson Award Recipients | website=AIM | url=https://aimath.org/alexanderson-award-recipients/ | access-date=2 April 2024}} is given annually by the American Institute of Mathematics.

The award was instituted in 2018. It honors a notable paper resulting from an AIM activity (workshop, research community, or SQuaRE).{{cite journal | title=AIM: Building and Supporting Collaborative Research Communities | journal=The Mathematical Intelligencer | first1=Brianna| last1=Donaldson| first2=David | last2=Farmer | first3=Sally | last3=Koutsoliotas | first4=Michelle | last4=Manes | date=24 March 2024 | doi=10.1007/s00283-024-10336-3 | url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00283-024-10336-3 | access-date=2 April 2024| doi-access=free }}

Motivation

The award was conceived of by John Fry in order to honor Gerald L. Alexanderson, Professor at Santa Clara University and founding chair of AIM's board of trustees.

Prize

Winners of the Alexanderson Award are given a medal, a cash prize and a trip to Bock Cay in the Bahamas.
