NORWAY-MATHEMATICS-PRIZE
The president of the Norwegian Academy of Science, professor Ole Didrik Laerum, announces on March 27, 2008 that the world's leading mathematics award, the Abel Prize, was awarded to Jacques Tits of France and John Griggs Thompson of the United States for their pioneer work on algebra. The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters said Tits, 77, and Griggs Thompson, 75, had been given the so-called "Mathematics Nobel" because of their "profound achievements in algebra and in particular for shaping modern group theory."
