John Charles Fields (1863–1932) was a prominent Canadian mathematician known for his contributions to the field of mathematics, particularly in the areas of partial differential equations and algebraic geometry. He is perhaps best known for establishing the Fields Medal, which is awarded every four years to mathematicians under 40 years of age in recognition of outstanding achievements. The award is often regarded as the most prestigious prize in mathematics, akin to a Nobel Prize.
