Women in Mathematics Day Celebration

It's Women in Mathematics Day! May 12 is a joyful opportunity for the mathematical community to celebrate women in mathematics. The celebration takes place every year, all around the world. 

The day coincides with the birthday of Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017) who was an Iranian mathematician and a Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University. She was one of the world’s leading experts in geometry and dynamical systems. Her beautiful and astonishing results and her life and career are an inspiration for everyone, women and men, to pursue their dreams in science.
