Congratulations! Lázló Lovász and Avi Wigderson share the Abel Prize of 2021.

They receive the prize “for their foundational contributions to theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics, and their leading role in shaping them into central fields of modern mathematics”.

Amazing that the Greeks seem to have build world's first working computer to predict astronomical events. The first working mechanical computer was quite complicated and was made about 2000 years ago.
