It is an online gathering to watch the "Secrets of a Surface: the mathematical vision of Maryam Mirzakhani' together.

Then we will have a panel discussion about the opportunities and challenges of female scientists in Iran.

ICMS is excited to be hosting an online screening of Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani. This one-hour documentary examines the life and mathematical work of Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian immigrant to the US, who in 2014 became the first woman and first Iranian to be honoured with the Fields Medal: mathematics’ highest prize. Mirzakhani sadly died of breast cancer in 2017, at the age of 40.

Virtual screening of the documentary film "Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani".

Join us for a watch party in AltspaceVR, the premier place to attend live shows, meetups, cool classes, and more with friendly people from around the world through the magic of Virtual Reality. 

Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani was filmed in Canada, Iran, and the United States, and examines the life and mathematical work of Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian immigrant to the United States who became a superstar in her field. In 2014, she was both the first woman and the first Iranian to be honored by mathematics’ highest prize, the Fields Medal.
