Mathematicians A number of IMO participants have gone on to become notable
mathematicians. The following IMO participants have either received a
Fields Medal, an
Abel Prize, a
Wolf Prize or a
Clay Research Award, awards which recognise groundbreaking research in mathematics; a
European Mathematical Society Prize, an award which recognizes young researchers; or one of the
American Mathematical Society's awards (a
Blumenthal Award in Pure Mathematics,
Bôcher Memorial Prize in Analysis,
Cole Prize in Algebra,
Cole Prize in Number Theory,
Fulkerson Prize in Discrete Mathematics,
Steele Prize in Mathematics, or
Veblen Prize in Geometry and Topology) recognizing research in specific mathematical fields.
Grigori Perelman proved the
Poincaré conjecture (one of the seven
Millennium Prize Problems), and
Yuri Matiyasevich gave a negative solution of
Hilbert's tenth problem.
G denotes an IMO gold medal,

Computer scientists IMO medalists have also gone on to become notable
computer scientists. The following IMO medalists have received a
IMU Abacus Medal (earlier known as Nevanlinna Prize), a
Knuth Prize, or a
Gödel Prize; these awards recognise research in theoretical computer science.
