數學 Mathematics 1. 頒獎之後，(數學家) 陳省身開始他的學術演講，演講中幾次提到「物理學和幾何」的關係，引起聽眾的轟動的笑聲，氣氛異常熱烈。我們在此摘錄幾段：
進入20世紀，數學的重要性已成為人們的共識，兩個最高水平的數學獎也相繼誕生：一個是菲爾茲獎，另一個是沃爾夫獎。在華人中，陳省身和他的學生丘成桐，分別是這兩項獎的獲得者。到今天為止，獲此殊榮的華人也只有他們兩位。 《陳省身傳》P.173-175 |

2. Princeton in 1948 was to mathematicians what Paris once was to painters and novelists, Vienna to psychoanalysts and architects , and ancient Athens to philosophers and playwrights . Harald Bohur brother of Niels Bohr, the physicist, had declared it “the mathematical center of the universe” in1936.
When the deans of mathematics held their first worldwide meeting after World War II, it was in Princeton. Fine Hall housed the world’s most competitive. Up-to-the minute mathematics department. Next door connected, In face – was the nation’s leading physics department, whose members, including Eugene Wigner, had driven off to Illinois, California, and New Mexico during the war, lugging bits of laboratory equipment, to help build the atomic bomb. A mile or so away , on what had been Olden Farm, was the Institute for Advanced Study, the modern equivalent of Plato’s Academy, where Einstein, Godel, Oppenheimer, and von Neumann scribbled on their blackboards and held their learned discourses. Visitors and students from the four comers of the world streamed to this polyglot mathematical oasis, fifty miles south of New York. What was proposed in a Princeton seminar one week was sure to be debated in Paris and Berkeley the week after, and in Moscow and Tokyo the week after that.

3. 2012年諾貝爾經濟學？頒給兩位研究「博奕論」(Game Theory)的學者。自1970至2007年間已有十二位諾貝爾得獎者是因博奕論而獲殊榮，其中又以電影《有你終生美麗》 (A Beautiful Mind) 的主角約翰・納什 (John Nash，數學家，1994年獲諾貝爾經濟學獎) 最廣為人知。
