邵逸夫奖官方网站2007年6月12日在宣布，2007年（第四届）邵逸夫奖数学奖由

普林斯顿高等研究所的Robert Langlands教授和哈佛大学的Richard Taylor教授共同获得，获奖因为是“for initiating and developing a grand unifying vision of mathematics that connects prime numbers with symmetry.”而获奖。他们两人将分享一百万美元的奖金。颁奖典礼将于2007年9月11日在香港举行。

邵逸夫奖于2002 年设立，以表彰在学术及科学研究或应用获得突破成果，和该成果对人类生活产生意义深远影响的科学家。目前在数学科学、天文学、生命科学与医学领域设有3个奖项，每年颁奖一次，每项奖金100万美元。现代微分几何学的奠基者陈省身(S.S.Chern)教授、费马大定理的终结者怀尔斯（A. Wiles）教授分别获得第一、二届邵逸夫数学奖。中国科学院数学与系统科学研究院研究员吴文俊院士和美国布朗大学应用数学系David Mumford教授共同获得第三届邵逸夫奖数学奖，
