A Canadian Breakthrough in Math's Highest Realm The latest crop of Fields Medal winners has brought fresh attention to the world of mathematics.
For one Canadian institution, University of Toronto professor Jacob Tsimerman's win is a significant milestone, making him the first mathematician based at a Canadian university to receive this esteemed honor.
Tsimerman joins an exclusive club that includes Manjul Bhargava, who won in 2014 despite being based at Princeton.
