Paul R Halmos-Lester R Ford Award


The Paul R Halmos-Lester R Ford Award recognize authors of articles of expository excellence published in The American Mathematical Monthly. This award is $1,000 and up to four awards may be awarded each year. The awards were established by the Mathematical Association of America in 1964 as the Ford awards, named for Lester R Ford, Sr., a distinguished mathematician, editor of The American Mathematical Monthly, 1942-1946, and President of the Mathematical Association of America, 1947-1948. In 2012, the Board of Governors designated these awards as the Paul R Halmos-Lester R Ford Awards to recognise the support for the awards provided by the Halmos family and to recognise Paul R Halmos, a distinguished mathematician and editor of The Monthly, 1982-1986.
