The prize is awarded to one or two recipients of a Ph.D. from a Canadian university whose overall performance in graduate school is judged to be the most outstanding. Although the dissertation will be the most important criterion (the impact of the results, the creativity of the work, the quality of exposition, etc.) it will not be the only one. Other publications, activities in support of students and other accomplishments will also be considered.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EThe\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/cms.math.ca\/\u0022\u003ECanadian Mathematical Society\u003C\/a\u003E (CMS) is the main national organization whose goal is to promote and advance the discovery, learning and application of mathematics.
