Levi L. Conant Prize

The Levi L. Conant Prize is a mathematics prize of the American Mathematical Society, which has been awarded every year since 2001 for outstanding expository papers published in the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society or the Notices of the American Mathematical Society in the previous five years. The award is worth $1,000.

The award is named after Levi L. Conant (1857–1916), a professor at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, known as the author of the anthropological mathematics book The Number Concept (1896). He left the American Mathematical Society $10,000 for the foundation of the award bearing his name in 2000.
