The $5,000 prize, established in memory of David. P Robbins, is awarded both by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) to support authors' novel research in algebra, combinatorics, or discrete mathematics. Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko will receive the prize at the 2025 Joint Mathematics Meetings in Seattle.
