The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani
"In partnership with the London Mathematical Society.
The first female Fields Medalist Maryam Mirzakhani, left an astonishing mathematical legacy at her untimely death in 2017. This talk will explain the lasting contributions of her work to our understanding of the world, and give a glimpse into Professor Mirzakhani's imaginative and hands-on approach to mathematics.
This lecture will be delivered by Professor Holly Krieger who is the Corfield Lecturer in Mathematics and the Corfield Fellow at Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge.
A lecture by Holly Krieger recorded on 24 May 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London." from the video introduction
A Tribute to Maryam Mirzakhani
"Maryam Mirzakhani, May 12, 1977-July 14, 2017
Maryam Mirzakhani, the only woman to win a Fields Medal, died on July 14 at the age of 40. Mirzakhani was a professor at Stanford University and a highly original mathematician who made a host of striking contributions to geometry and dynamical systems. Her work bridges several mathematical disciplines—including hyperbolic geometry, complex analysis, topology, and dynamics—and in return deeply influenced them all..." from the article:
