The Fields Medal, officially known as International Medal for Outstanding Discoveries in Mathematics, is a prize awarded to mathematicians under the age of 40 years at each International Congress of the International Mathematical Union (IMU) every four years to recognize outstanding mathematical achievement for existing work and for the promise of future achievement. Since 1936, 60 mathematicians have won the Fields Medal.

In order to give readers a better understanding of the contributions made by the Fields Medalists, the library of Tsinghua Sanya International Mathematics Forum (TSIMF) instituted the Special Collection of Fields Medalists as permanent collection of the library to serve the mathematical researchers and readers.

So far, there are 280 books from 49 authors in the Special Collection of Fields Medalists of TSIMF library.
