Maryam Mirzakhani & Problem-Solving
I spent a good part of my week discovering the work of Maryam Mirzakhani thanks to an excellent documentary on ARTE. In 2014, this brilliant mathematician became the first Iranian to be honored with the Fields medal, and the first of only two women to date! 👩🏻🏫🥇
While I did take several advanced maths courses for my Computer Engineering diploma, I do not have the required level to understand the details of her work on hyperbolic geometry.
