TheMayhew Prize is a prize awarded annually by theFaculty of Mathematics, University of Cambridge to the student showing the greatest distinction in applied mathematics, primarily for courses offered byDAMTP, but also for some courses offered by the Statistical Laboratory, in theMASt examinations, also known as Part III of theMathematical Tripos.[1] This includes about half of all students taking the Tripos Math exam, since the rest are taking mainly pure mathematics courses. Since 2018 the Faculty have also awarded the Pure Mathematics Prize for pure mathematics, but due to an absence of funds there is no equivalent monetary reward.
The Mayhew Prize was founded in 1923 through a donation of £500 byWilliam Loudon Mollison, Master ofClare College, in memory of his wife Ellen Mayhew (1846–1917).[2]
Most of this list is fromThe Times newspaper archive.[3] The winners of the prize are published in theCambridge University Reporter.
