The female genius scientist's life surpassed all prejudices
An Iranian, a woman and an immigrant; The short but precious life of the 40-year-old silver professor is the inspiration for all people regardless of skin color, ethnicity, religion .
On July 14, 2017, Maryam Mirzakhani , Stanford University professor of mathematics, and the first and only woman to win the prestigious Fields Math Prize, died at the age of 40, leaving many regrets. n.
After only a few hours, both the professors Iran (# مریم میرزاخانی) and English (#maryammirzakhani) of the professor became the most prominent keywords on social networks Twitter and Facebook. The worldwide news agency also reported on the mathematician's departure and achievements.
You have the right to become anyone

Maryam is an Iranian, a woman and an immigrant to the United States to pursue mathematics. Her success has made stereotypes of foreign discrimination encouraged by the fear policy in the West, which has lost its credibility.
Recent studies show that great models in a field can exert a strong influence and encourage people to pursue success in that area. The image of a woman who has overcome so many 'whiskers' to reach the peak of the field of mathematics, can help inspire the next generation of scholars.
She is a living proof that: the world will welcome all the scientific contributions of anyone regardless of what color it is, national or religious.
Grief is more profound for a young generation of scholars who always consider Maryam as a shining example. She is always a role model for women who do science especially math.
When everyone is sorry for the 40-year-old female professor; Maryam's life will become a source of inspiration for girls and boys from all walks of life and across the world.
Suffering childhood
Despite possessing a calm face and a warm smile and a small body, Maryam is a true warrior. She and her family, along with many other Iranians, survived the difficult years of economic and social change after the Iranian revolution in 1979.
Maryam also survived the fierce battle between Iran and Iraq that lasted for eight years a few years later, her life was always in turmoil and difficulty.
Despite being one of the greatest women in mathematics; Maryam always lived modestly, simply and especially avoided the media's attention.
At first, the female professor of mathematics wanted to become a writer, her passion never faded even after her college graduation. However, later, the scientist found a greater joy than writing in solving difficult math problems.
Maryam Mirzakhani will go down in history as a pioneer and also a genius in the math world.
From the time of student life, Maryam has shown outstanding talent in mathematics. She is the first female member of the Iranian national team to attend the International Mathematical Olympiad and has won two gold medals for two consecutive years.
Following that, Maryam received a bachelor's degree from Sharif University of Technology in Iran and was followed by a doctoral degree from Harvard.In 2014, she was recognized with the Fields Medal - the highest award in mathematics, for her dedication to Hyperbolic geometry research.
Mirzakhani's works mainly focus on complex geometry and can be applied in other sciences from technical materials, quantum field theory to physical theory of the birth of the universe. .
'The beauty of mathematics appears only to those who persistently pursue,' the professor said modestly about her talent.
Like Marie Curie or Jane Goodall, Maryam Mirzakhani will go down in history as a pioneer and also a genius in mathematics.
Fields Prize: The award is named after Canadian mathematician John Charles Fields, awarded every four years in every World Math Congress since 1936 in Canada for mathematicians under 40 years old.
The prize is a medal with a bonus of 15,000 Canadian dollars equivalent to 14,400 USD.
About mathematics also known as Fields Medal, Fields Medal is considered the greatest honor a mathematician can receive in life.
Professor Ngo Bao Chau and Fields
In 2010, Professor Ngo Bao Chau won this honor thanks to his achievements in "basic lemma" research and officially became the first mathematician of Vietnam to win the prestigious award. Vietnam became the second Asian country after Japan to have the award-winning Fields mathematician.
Ngo Bao Chau's achievements were evaluated by the prestigious Time magazine of the US as one of the 10 most important scientific innovations of 2009.
