. Upon the recommendation of the Head
of the School the School of Mathematics awards the following prizes and
scholarships on a yearly basis.
The top 10 undergraduate students in each year will be offered scholarships of £1000 for their continued studies on their course in Leeds. Scholarships will normally be offered to the top 10 students studying for School of Mathematics degrees in years 1, 2 and 3, and on a pro rata basis for Joint Honours degrees which include Mathematics or Statistics. The scholarships will be awarded after the exams in June, and paid when the student recommences their studies at the University. For students spending their third year in industry, or abroad, this means that a scholarship awarded at the end of their second year will normally be paid at the start of their fourth year. The scholarships are open to both Home/EU and international students. There is no need to make a formal application. Erasmus Prize - New in 2010! Dr D Salinger, on his retirement from the University established an endowment for this prize. The Erasmus prize will be awarded to the undergraduate student on any programme parented by the School of Mathematics (including all Joint Honours programmes with Mathematics or Statistics as a named subject) with the best Year 2 average who will study a year abroad in Europe, or failing a suitable candidate, the student with the best Year 2 average who will study a year overseas, as part of his/her Leeds degree. Brodetsky Prize Emeritus Professor S Brodetsky, on his retirement from the chair of Applied Mathematics in 1948, made a donation to the University to establish a prize in Mathematics. A Brodetsky prize is awarded to the student whose work in the final exam in the degree of mathematics is judged to be of the greatest merit. In the event of there being two or more candidates of equal merit, the prize will be divided. The prize will not be awarded in any year unless a sufficiently high standard is attained. Cowling Prize, Ruse Prize and Ursell Prize These prizes were instituted in 1980 in recognition of the services to the University of Professor Cowling, Professor of Applied Mathematics from 1948 to 1970; Professor Ruse, Professor of Pure Mathematics from 1946 to 1970; and Dr Ursell, Reader in Analysis from 1948 to 1967. The prizes will be awarded to students studying for a first degree in Mathematics. The Ruse prize will normally be awarded to a first year student who has made exceptional progress in his or her studies. The Cowling prize will be awarded to the student who has achieved an outstanding performance during the second or final year. The Cowling and Ruse Prizes will be awarded annually provided there are candidates of sufficient merit. The Ursell prize will be awarded from time to time, when the performance of a student, who has not been awarded the Brodetsky Prize or the Cowling Prize, is felt to deserve it. Goldsworthy Prize The Goldsworthy Prize was established by Professor F. A. Goldsworthy, a Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematical Studies from 1964 to 1994. It is awarded for outstanding work in Applied Mathematics. King Prize The King Prize was established in 2004 through the generosity of Professor A.C King. The prize is awarded to the student in the final year of any undergraduate programme in the School of Mathematics, leading to the award of BSc or MMath, BSc, whose work in Applied Mathematics is judged to be of the greatest merit. Kuznetsov Prize This prize has been newly established in 2006 by the School of Mathematics in memory of our colleague Dr Vadim Kuznetsov who died on the 16 December 2005 at the age of 42. The prize is awarded to the student who achieves the best mark in a final year project. Price Prize Emeritus Professor H L Price, on his retirement from the Chair of Mathematics for Applied Science in 1982, made a donation to the University to establish a prize. The prize is awarded for good work in Applied Mathematics. Crabtree Scholarships The Committee on Scholarships, Studentships and Prizes make awards to undergraduate students for outstanding academic performance. These awards are financed from the William A. Crabtree Fund. A student will be eligible only once and this will normally be at the end of Year 1.
