In 1969 the [[Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics]] (SIAM) established the [[Pólya Prize (SIAM)|George Pólya Prize]], given alternately in two categories for "a notable application of combinatorial theory" and for "a notable contribution in another area of interest to George Pólya."<ref>[http://www.siam.org/prizes/sponsored/polya.php Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics George Pólya Prize]</ref>
