Two Chinese academics have won the world’s top prize for mathematics for the first time, the BBC<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

Chinese mathematicians Hong Wang and Yu Deng won alongside John Pardon from the US and Jacon Tsimerman from Canada. They each won 15,000 Canadian dollars ($10,500).<\/p>\n

Both won for solving problems that have baffled mathematicians for more than a century. And 35-year-old Wang, who teaches in the US and France, is only the third woman to receive the honor.<\/p>\n

The Fields Medal, regarded as the Nobel prize equivalent for mathematics, was handed out on Thursday in the US as human computations are increasingly challenged by AI.<\/p>\n

The prize is given every four years to outstanding mathematicians under the age of 40.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
