Join us for a free screening of Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani in celebration of Women in Math Day!
Examine the life and mathematical work of Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian immigrant to the United States who became a superstar in her field. In 2014, prior to her untimely death at the age of 40, she became both the first woman and the first Iranian to be awarded the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in mathematics, often equated in stature with the Nobel Prize.
