	John Charles Fields - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Charles Fields (May 14, 1863 - August 9, 1932) was a Canadian mathematician and the founder of the Fields Medal for outstanding achievement in mathematics.
		Fields began publishing papers on a new topic, algebraic functions, which would prove to be the most fruitful research field of his career.
		Fields was elected fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1907 and fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1913.

		John Charles Fields (1863-1932) was a Canadian mathematician, educated in Toronto, Paris, and Berlin.
		Fields did original research in the theory of algebraic functions that was influenced by his reknowned mentors, Fuchs, Schwarz, Frobenius and Plank.
		Fields was so troubled by this politicizing of mathematics that he proposed the institution of an award for mathematical achievement and promise that would emphasize the international character of the mathematical endeavor.

	Fields Institute - John Charles Fields
		Fields graduated from the University of Toronto in 1884, and then left to study at Johns Hopkins University, probably attracted by the fact that Johns Hopkins apparently was the North American University that stressed research most strongly at that time.
		Fields was understandably dissatisfied with the state of mathematics in North America at that time, and in 1891 he left for Europe to spend the next 10 years there, combining a modest inheritance from his parents with economical living habits.
		Fields is of course best known for establishing what is now known as the “Fields Medal”—the premier award in Mathematics, often called the “Nobel Prize in Mathematics”.

		John Charles Fields was of Scots-Irish extraction although his parents, Harriet Bowes and John Charles Fields, were both Canadians and lived at 150 King Street East, Hamilton.
		Fields was appointed in 1889 Professor of Mathematics at Allegheny College, one of the oldest colleges in Pennsylvania, but resigned after three years so that he might further his mathematical researches by studying in Europe.
		From 1892 to 1900 Fields studied in Paris, Göttingen and Berlin with Fuchs, Frobenius, Hensel, Schwarz, Weierstrass, and Planck.

		The Fields Medal is a prize awarded to up to four mathematicians (not over forty years of age) at each International Congress of International Mathematical Union, since 1936 and regularly since 1948 at the initiative of the Canadian mathematician John Charles Fields.
		The Fields Medal is often described as the "Nobel Prize of mathematics".
		Fields Medals are awarded for a body of work, rather than for a particular result, though there is clearly consensus that some individual theorems can and should be recognised in this way.

	Fields Institute - The Fields Medal
		The history of the Fields Medal begins in the Committee of the International Congress set up by the University of Toronto in November of 1923, with the purpose of organizing the 1924 Congress to be held in Toronto.
		Fields then proceeded with the planning of the award of the first medals, but fell ill in May of 1932 and died 3 months later.
		An analysis by Michael Monastyrsky of the effect of Fields Medalists on 20th century mathematics and physics, delivered in a lecture at the Fields symposium “The legacy of John Charles Fields” held in Toronto in June, 2000, is available here.
