MAA Writing Awards
Lester R. Ford Awards
The Lester R. Ford Awards, established in 1964, are made annually to authors of outstanding expository papers in The American Mathematical Monthly. Initially the awards were for articles in either the Monthly or Mathematics Magazine. With the establishment of the Allendoerfer Award in 1976, the Ford Awards were restricted to articles in the Monthly.
The awards are named for Lester R. Ford, Sr., a distinguished mathematician, editor of the Math Monthly (1942-46), and President of the Mathematical Association of America (1947-48).
