We rank mathematicians according to their citations for each graduation year. The first line displays the top 5 for all areas combined. The next few rows show the top 3 mathematicians in each area. Invited speakers to the ICM are colored green. Those who earned major prizes are colored red. The numbers in parenthesis are the number of citations listed on MathSciNet.
The major prizes that are taken into account are the Fields medal, Abel prize, Breakthrough prize, Chern medal, Ostrowski prize, Gauss prize, Shaw prize, Ralph Schock prize, Wolf prize and Maryam Mirzakhani Prize.
Everyone is free to interpret this ranking as they see fit.
