IMA Gold Medal

The Gold Medal of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) is a biennial prize established in 1982 by the IMA "in recognition of outstanding contributions to mathematics and its applications over a period of years". These contributions may take several different forms, including "the building up of a research group of exceptional merit", "notable contributions to the application of mathematical techniques" or "outstanding contributions to the improvement of the teaching of mathematics".[1][2]

gollark: What? How would that help people?
gollark: You should use OpenPOWER.
gollark: RISC-V isn't open enough, actually.
gollark: I kind of want smart home things, but I have no actual usecase and the maintenance burden it would add to my mess of scripts and infrastructure would likely be bad.
gollark: There are the naïve enthusiastic people who go buy consumer IoT devices and them replace then when they inevitably stop being supported, the grizzled sysadmin/developer types who have seen the horrors of modern computing and don't trust it, the mystical few who are competent enough to run their own stuff and have it work, and people who want to be/think they are that but who spend all their time recompiling the kernel on their smart fridge.
