May 12 is The Women in Mathematics Day, in honour of Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman and first Iranian to be awarded the Fields Medal before her death at the age of 40. Join the screening of Secrets of the Surface, the Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani, on Tuesday, May 12 at 3:00pm PDT at www.birs.ca/live to celebrate her life, her mathematical work, and her impact on future generations.
After individually viewing the film Secrets of the Surface - The Mathematics Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani, we will have a discussion over Zoom motivated by this movie and the celebration of Mirzakhani.
TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN IN MATHEMATICS DAY!
It is the 200th birthday of Florence Nightingale (famous for her work in nursing, but also one of the founders of modern statistics), and of Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian-American woman who was the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal (the most prestigious math award), and who taught at Stanford until her death in 2017 at the age of 40.
The main goal of our online event was to show the contribution of women to the development of mathematics through the ages.
The students of IV High School in Lodz prepared presentations, games, found short video to show their classmates that maths has also a face of a woman.
We used the idea of a mathematical fair to know who's going to be next.
All participants ( students and teachers) had a lot of fun.
Webinar capacity:500
in the case the webinar is full, we will release the video on youtube.
