Sir Edmund Whittaker Memorial Prize

The Sir Edmund Whittaker Memorial Prize is awarded every four years by the Edinburgh Mathematical Society to an outstanding young mathematician having a specified connection with Scotland. It is named after Sir Edmund Whittaker.

History

After the death of Sir Edmund Whittaker in 1956, his son John Whittaker most generously gave on behalf of the Whittaker Family the sum of £500 to the Edinburgh Mathematical Society to establish a prize for mathematical work in memory of his father.

Winners

gollark: Rust's wasm_bindgen stuff.
gollark: … yes? Repeatedly?
gollark: The build tool will just spit out some minimal JS to pass in the necessary browser API calls and invoke your WASM.
gollark: It goes via JS, but you don't have to write that so it is irrelevant.
gollark: It's arguably horrible abuse to do this sort of thing for most applications and it produces giant WASM binaries. Although some languages produce less/more idiomatic JS.
