The Chauvenet Prize is an annual award given by the Mathematical Association of America in recognition of an outstanding expository article on a mathematical topic. It consists of a prize of $1,000 and a certificate. [2]

Contents

The Chauvenet Prize was the first award established by the Mathematical Association of America. [3] The prize is named in honor of William Chauvenet and was established through a gift from J. L. Coolidge in 1925. [3] A gift from MAA president Walter B. Ford in 1928 allowed the award to be given every three years instead of the originally planned 5 years. [4]
