- At one time, I was under the impression that Bott and Artin had won the
- Fields Medal. It seems I'm wrong. Can someone confirm or deny?
-
- This impression is associated with one of those stories. I understand
- Artin, Atiyah, and Bott were the first three at the math tripos one year
- at Oxford (1950?). Apparently it made quite an impression.
