The Cole Prize in Number Theory and Cole Prize in Algebra were completely different awards. The two winners each had their own medal, so they each had their own prize money.
A check for $100,000 USD as well as a medal was sent to both Lu Zhou and Schultz.
At night, the Federal Mathematics Society held a dinner party at a five-star hotel near the Berkeley campus.
Since it was Christmas season, the atmosphere of the dinner party was lively.
Although there were no Christmas trees or Santa, Lu Zhou saw the classic roast turkey and a Buche de Noel cake.
As the youngest winner of the Cole Prize in Number Theory, and the only person to cause the Federal Mathematics Society to make an exception, Lu Zhou was naturally the focus of the dinner party.
Especially for people in number theory.
Many number theory mathematicians took this opportunity to meet him.
