Prix Pólya (MAA)

Le prix George Pólya est un prix mathématique créé en 1976 et décerné depuis 1977 par la Mathematical Association of America (MAA) pour des articles de qualité publiés dans The College Mathematics Journal (en) édité par la MAA. Le prix, nommé d'après le mathématicien George Pólya, récompense jusqu'à deux lauréats par an avec un prix d'un montant de 500 dollars. La plupart des articles lauréats sont accessibles à tous^[1]
