Maryam Mirzakhani

     Hey, Bloggers!
     Meet me again! I hope you guys don't get bored of visiting my blog... Hehe...
     This time, I am going to tell you a story about a woman. In this globalisation era, there are many well-known woman, who is not only beautiful, but also has a very clever mind. Like this woman. This woman is very unique. The world is very impressed because of her work. Who is this woman? Well, readers, let me introduce you, Maryam Mirzakhani.

     Maryam Mirzakhani was born on May 13th 1977 in Iran. She is 39 years old now and she lives in California, United States. She married with Jan Vondrak, a theoretical computer scientist, and they have a very beautiful daughter called Anahita. What's the special things about her? Well, she is a very clever woman mathematician. In an interview, she once said "The more I  spent time on maths, the more excited I got." Cool right? And do you know? She is not just a very clever mathematician.
She is the first ever woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious prize in mathematics. Fields Medal is similar to Nobel Prize, but Fields Medal is a prize for mathematician. Only for mathematician. FYI, Fields Medal is a medal for mathematician that is succeed to solve the most difficult question or problem about math or for mathematician that is succeed to find a new theory about math. And the Fields medal is given to mathematician with 40 years maximum age. So if you are 41 years old, you can't get this medal.
     Back to Maryam Mirzakhani. So, Maryam Mirzakhani is the first woman and the first Iranian to win this medal. Isn't that great? Imagine how smart she is. She said when she was a girl, she never dream to be a mathematician, her dream was to become a writer. But who knows about future?

     She won this medal on August 13rd 2014 when she was 37 years old. She won this medal in Seoul, South Korea. There were 4 candidates at that time, and she was the only woman. And turns out, she was the one who got the medals. Mirzakhani was awarded the Fields Medal in 2014 for "her outstanding contributions to the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces". Her thesis showed how to compute the Weil-Petersson volumes of moduli spaces of bordered Riemann surfaces. Her research interests include Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory, and symplectic geometry.

     Maryam Mirzakhani is now a math lecturer and a professor of mathematics at Stanford University. She is often got some invitations to do a speech and to motivate some students. Oh she also has a motivation to the students who don't like math. She said " I can see that without being excited mathematics can look pointless and cold. The beauty of mathematics only shows itself to more patient followers." So, be patient and excited, then you'll see the true beauty of math. :)
     So, that's all from me. I hope her achievement could be inspirational to all of you guys.
     Good bye! See you again at my blog!
