(1) The Fields Medal is the highest scientific award for mathematicians. In fact it is only the unofficial name for the "International medal for outstanding discoveries in mathematics. " The Fields Medals are presented every four years at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) to two to four deserving mathematicians under the age of 40. The age limit is intended to guarantee that not only past work is rewarded. The Fields Medal is also intended to encourage the winners to make further contributions.
(2) The prize is named in honor of Professor John Charles Fields (1863-1932), a Canadian mathematician. He was the first significant mathematician at the University of Toronto, and was also internationally known at the time. He was active in such prestigious scientific societies as the Royal Society of London. In 1924 he was elected as the president of the 6th International Congress of Mathematicians held in Toronto.
(3) Fields did original research in the theory of algebraic functions. However he is best remembered for conceiving the idea of, and for providing funds for, an international medal for mathematical distinction. The 9th International Congress of Mathematicians at Zurich in 1932 adopted his proposal after his death. The Fields Medal was first awarded at the 10th Congress, held at Oslo in 1936. The fund for the founding of the medals is constituted by Fields’ donation and balance left over after financing the Toronto Congress held in 1924. Fields wished that the awards should recognize both existing mathematical work and also the promise of future achievement.
(4) The medalists are presented with a golden medal together with a prize of 15, 000 Canadian dollars. Each medal contains at least 200 dollars worth of gold and is probably 7. 5 centimeters in diameter. The obverse of the medal is the head of Archimedes facing right, and together with a quotation (in Latin) attributed to him,
"To transcend one’s spirit and to take hold of the world. " The reverse side bears the inscription (in Latin) , "The mathematicians assembled here from all over the world to pay tribute for outstanding work. "
(5) Compared with the $100,000 of the Nobel Prize, it is only a golden medal. However, the prize winners are selected by the Fields Medal Committee which consists of eight mathematicians appointed by the Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union. It is usually regarded as the top prize in mathematics and will only be awarded to researchers who have made pioneering contribution in mathematics, so is often referred to as the "Nobel Prize for Mathematics" , since there is no Nobel Prize for mathematics. [br] Fields is mainly remembered for______.

推断题。文章叙述了菲尔兹在该数学大奖的设立过程中所起到的奠基作用,该奖是他首先提出的,并提供了部分资金,而菲尔兹为人们所铭记也主要是因为这一点,故[D]正确。[A]不符合原文内容,他是奖章的设立者而非获得者;[B]是他成就的一个方面;[C]与原文第三段第二句不符,故均排除。
