Prêmio Levi L. Conant

O Prêmio Levi L. Conant é um prêmio de matemática da American Mathematical Society, concedido desde 2000, por artigos científicos de impacto esclarecedor publicados nos periódicos Notices of the American Mathematical Society e Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society. Dotado financeiramente com US$ 1000, é concedido anualmente.

Sua denominação homenageia Levi Leonard Conant (1857-1916), professor do Worcester Polytechnic Institute, conhecido como autor do livro matemático-antropológico "The number concept" (1896). Legou à AMS 10 mil dólares, a qual utilizou este recurso para instituir o prêmio em questão.
