Congratulations Maryam. You made us, as women, as Iranians, and as humans proud to know there are still ways to know this life and this world better. Thank you for your hard work....
Woman, you are so inspirational! I'm so glad the a woman has finally stood up to the challenge of winning a Field's Medal! This is such a great achievement!
I wish I would meet her! Nature's Daughter. Knew the language of Nature. So sad that she is no more but she's always alive inside the Herat of Creative minds 🙏
Highly unlikely given that Grisha only tolerated to work in the department of the great Ladyzhenskaya because she didn't even try to break his solitude with collaboration proposals. Edit: no, I don't know Grisha personally and never have.
Because she is the first woman to be awarded this medal. It is important for young girls to have someone to look up to because in our society girls still get told that they're worse at mathematics than boys, which is not true.
proud of you professor,this is the honor of iranian and me which we have such a wealth like you,tnx for raise up iranian volume and of course the helpness to human being's life.
Congratulations Maryam. Congratulations Iran. Congratulations Stanford. As a white (English, French background), Canadian male, it saddens me that both women in mathematics and Iranians in general are stigmatized in the west. And in particular, the status of women within Iran is stigmatized. However, contrary to this stereotype, Iran has produced what no other country can claim: the world's first female Fields medal recipient. Thank you Maryam for, even if only slightly, breaking down antiquated stereotypes. Hormones dictate gender. XYZ dictates your country. Both are so arbitrary. Let's hope more people use your example and live outside the mental ruts of our past and present.
OMG facts: Iran has the highest female to male ratio in universities among all sovereign states. In Iran, more than 70% of alumni in engineering and pure sciences are women. Women were given greater opportunities in receiving education after the Iranian (Islamic) Revolution. They definitely seem to use it to their advantage. www.omgfacts.com/Science/Iran-has-the-highest-female-to-male-rati/48446
She speaks about this so passionately that even though I haven't completely grasped what she said I am def very interested in exploring more of her work.
What a wonderful achievement. So sad that she died in 2017 at the age of 40 from breast cancer. A tragic loss for mathematics, for women, and for mankind.
If you're reading this, Maryam. I just want you to know how thrilled I am by hearing the news about this wonderful achievement of yours, first as a human being and then as an Iranian. I remember I was good at math in high school but back in time there were neither you, Maryam Mirzakhani, nor social media as widespread as it is now, to provide me with inspiration needed to build on what I had done by then, and then after some years I totally gave math up altogether. However, I'm sure that from this moment on, your success is going to pave the way for hundreds of currently underrated, potential mathematicians and scientists, and all of them will look at you as their role model and inspiration in their way to success in various fields of science. Believe it or not, your success has even inspired me, to do more and more with my time and life to make the least bit of difference I'm capable of. I will tell my kids about you - though I don't have any yet- and your story and I will encourage them to follow in your footsteps. A big thank you for all the invaluable work you've done in your life from your Iranian fellow and supporter. I'll definitely be looking forward to see more of such achievements by you and other fellow scientist.
Ily K Please give maths another try! There's so much more beauty to it than people are taught in schools! Its more than just numbers and arithmetic, all that stuff they teach you at school is like teaching a kid how to paint a fence and calling it art!
@@Cyrusislikeawsome Personally i think i would need a total restudy from the bottom up, to understand the rules and why they are like that, that slowly creates the full picture, sadly it takes a lot of time, unless you checked why each rule is like this and that while learning it in school by yourself.
When surfaces stretch they develop cracks. Because irregular or totally random is the way surfaces crack. This leads to pathways in contours which are random. When you put a beam of light in circular rotation the distance is the same because of radius but time overlapping is different because it has to complete one full rotation and that's the reason phase velocity is twice group velocity. Polarity is because of the time delay in one full rotation to next. That's why we have polarity in space. Spectrum is a particular radius.
ya6655, Then you obviously know nothing about Iran. Read a little more about history of Iran instead of listening to everything your media outlets tell you. I’m sorry if I am wrong but this is the impression you have given me; judging by this comment of yours.
No, I have read a few articles (their own work) about riemann surfaces (I recomend it) and I found it very interesting, but I'm agree with you, if I don't know the competitors then I can't say something like that , sorry and thanks for the viewpoint.
