EDITORIAL

Values of the abstract: A new set of prizes is an apt celebration of the significance and wonder to be found in pure mathematics. Nature, May 25, Volume 405, 379 (2000).

"... All credit, then, to the Clay Mathematics Institute for celebrating the intrinsic value of such challenges.... It's an excellent way for a private foundation to recognize the eternal fascination that mathematics holds for people such as Hardy, and for the rest of us."
