Women in Mathematics Day

The Mathematics Department at St. Edward's College, MALTA, is happy to announce the screening of a mathematics documentary on Friday the 12th of May at 1pm.

On May the 12th, the international mathematics community celebrates Women in Mathematics Day. It is also the date of birth of the Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani: the first woman to have been honoured by mathematics' highest prize, the Fields Medal. This happened in 2014. Unfortunately, Maryam died of breast cancer 3 years later, at age 40.

We will watch together the documentary “Secrets of the Surface: the Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani” and reflect on the recent restrictions placed on and infractions against women in Iran.

The event will take place on May 24 at 6:30pm at the Institute for Mathematics of the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, room 711 (gross), Robert-Mayer-Str. 10.
