Masaki Kashiwara received the honor, often regarded as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, for work that combined different mathematical fields to solve challenging problems.<\/p>\n

Masaki Kashiwara, a Japanese mathematician, received this year\u2019s Abel Prize, which aspires to be the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in math. Dr. Kashiwara\u2019s highly abstract work combined algebra, geometry and differential equations in surprising ways.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, which manages the Abel Prize, announced the honor on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, he has solved some open conjectures \u2014 hard problems that have been around,\u201d said Helge Holden, chairman of the prize committee. \u201cAnd second, he has opened new avenues, connecting areas that were not known to be connected before. This is something that always surprises mathematicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mathematicians use connections between different areas of math to tackle recalcitrant problems, allowing them to recast those problems into concepts they better understand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

That has made Dr. Kashiwara, 78, of Kyoto University, \u201cvery important in many different areas of mathematics,\u201d Dr. Holden said.<\/p>\n

But have uses been found for Dr. Kashiwara\u2019s work in solving concrete, real-world problems?<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, nothing,\u201d Dr. Kashiwara said in an interview.<\/p>\n
