The prize honours &#8221;young numerical analysts worldwide&#8221; (any person who is less than 31 years old), and applicants submit papers for review. A committee reviews the papers, invites shortlisted candidates to give lectures at the IMA Leslie Fox Prize meeting, and then awards First Prize and Second Prizes based on \u201cmathematical and algorithmic brilliance in tandem with presentational skills\u201d.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri;font-size: medium\">For more information please see: \u00a0<\/span>http:\/\/www.numerical.rl.ac.uk\/people\/nimg\/fox\/<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri;font-size: medium\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"kent-social-links\"><li><a href='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/ima-leslie-fox-prize-awarded-to-dr-john-pearson\/&amp;t=IMA Leslie Fox Prize awarded to Dr John Pearson' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-facebook' title='Share via Facebook'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=IMA Leslie Fox Prize awarded to Dr John Pearson%20https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/ima-leslie-fox-prize-awarded-to-dr-john-pearson\/' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-twitter' title='Share via Twitter'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/ima-leslie-fox-prize-awarded-to-dr-john-pearson\/' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-google-plus' title='Share via Google Plus'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='http:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/ima-leslie-fox-prize-awarded-to-dr-john-pearson\/&amp;title=IMA Leslie Fox Prize awarded to Dr John Pearson' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-linkedin' title='Share via Linked In'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='mailto:content=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/ima-leslie-fox-prize-awarded-to-dr-john-pearson\/&amp;title=IMA Leslie Fox Prize awarded to Dr John Pearson' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-email' title='Share via Email'><\/i><\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Pearson, a Lecturer in Mathematics at SMSAS, has been awarded an IMA Leslie Fox Prize in Numerical Analysis at the 17th Leslie Fox Prize &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/ima-leslie-fox-prize-awarded-to-dr-john-pearson\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40554,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[99401,9112],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40554"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":99,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98\/revisions\/99"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/smsasnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
