Source-derived summary

The Prize of the Austrian Mathematical Society (German: Förderungspreis) is the highest mathematics award in Austria. It is awarded every year by the Austrian Mathematical Society to a promising young mathematician for outstanding achievements. A substantial part of the work must have been performed in Austria. The recipient receives, in addition to a monetary reward, a medal showing Rudolf Inzinger. The prize was established in 1955 and is awarded since 1956.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Prize of the Austrian Mathematical Society” as award. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Prize, Austrian and Mathematical.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1955, 1956—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1955. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Prize, Austrian and Mathematical providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Prize of the Austrian Mathematical Society”, the useful work is to connect “award” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 30, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q1480022. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1955 and 1956.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
