Each year the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) awards the Hamilton Prize in Mathematics to the best undergraduate mathematics student in the penultimate year of their studies at each of the universities in Ireland.  TU Dublin has nominated its recipient who will receive their prize and gift during an award ceremony on Friday, 15 October 2021.

The Hamilton Prize is a prestigious award for undergraduates prizes and is named after William Rowan Hamilton, an outstanding Irish mathematician whose discoveries and contributions are still used and make a fundamental contribution to modern knowledge and applications.  Each year the RIA celebrates the life and work of William Rowan Hamilton, coinciding with the anniversary of his discovery of quaternion algebra in 1843.  This year, the Hamilton Prizes will be presented by Professor Caroline Series, University of Warwick, an eminent mathematician who will give a public lecture in the evening following the award ceremony.  The prizes and public Hamilton Lecture are supported by IBEC.
