The Fields Institute is named after
Canadian mathematician John
Charles Fields (1863-1932).
2 Fields has a wall of postcards that
we’ve received over the years from our
international visitors.
4 The Fields Fellows program was started in
2002 for Fields 10th Anniversary. There are
now 117 Fields Fellows.
The sculpture in front of the Fields
building is called “Intuition”and
represents Borromean rings.
Hanging from the Fields atrium ceiling is
a 120-cell mobile, the 3D shadow of a 4D
dodecahedron, created by Marc Pelletier in
honour of H.S.M. Coxeter’s 95th birthday.
