Iranian Becomes First Woman To Ever Win The "Nobel Prize" Of Mathematics
The International Mathematical Union established an award to honor excellence in mathematicians under the age of 40. The award was named after Canadian mathematician John C. Fields, and has often been described as the “Nobel Prize of mathematics.” The Fields Medal has been awarded every four years since 1936. Up to four outstanding mathematicians can be honored at once, but 2014 is the first time a woman has been honored with the prize. Maryam Mirzakhani is a professor at Stanford University who was recognized for "her outstanding contributions to the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces.”

Born in Tehran, Iran, Mirzakhani’s excellence in math extends back to when she was in high school. She earned gold medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad—the world’s most distinguished math tournament for pre-collegiate students—not once, but twice. Her showing in 1995 resulted in a perfect score for her; a most impressive accomplishment.
