Levi L. Conant Prize

The Levi L. Conant Prize is a mathematics prize of the American Mathematical Society, which has been awarded since 2000 for outstanding expository papers published in the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society or the Notices of the American Mathematical Society in the past five years. The award is worth $1,000 and is awarded annually.

The award is named after Levi L. Conant (1857–1916), a professor at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, known as the author of anthropological mathematics book "The number concept" (1896). He left the AMS $10,000 for the foundation of the award bearing his name.

gollark: ```This egg feels like all future spacetime trajectories lead into it.```
gollark: GϘn.
gollark: Revised description:```Mana courses through this glassy egg, producing a beautiful glow - it's very reflective, almost metallic. It has a red gleam, too, and smells faintly like brine. It shimmers like gold, and it seems as if time is distorted around it. It is much smaller than the other eggs, and looks like lots of pieces of paper folded together and smelling faintly like cheese. It occupies every point in the spacetime continuum.```
gollark: Oh, forgot it.
