As you may know, this day honours Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian mathematician and Stanford University professor who was born on May 12, 1977. In 2014, Mirzakhani became the first woman to receive the Fields Medal for her work on the geometry and dynamics of Riemann surfaces. She died from breast cancer in 2017 at the age of 40. The 12th of May, her birthday, was chosen to celebrate Women in Mathematics in her memory.
To mark this occasion, we are hosting a virtual math symposium featuring four young women mathematicians on May 12th, 2024, and we would be very happy if you could attend it.
