The Fields Medal in mathematics for the first time in history a woman has received
37-year-old mathematics professor Maryam Mirzakhani (Maryam Mirzakhani) from Stanford University became the first woman who received the Fields Medal - the most prestigious award in mathematics.
The Organizing Committee признал Mariam extremely valuable contributions to geometry and dynamical systems. "Her work on the Riemann surfaces and their modules combines several mathematical disciplines - hyperbolic geometry, complex analysis, topology and dynamical systems - and, in turn, influenced all these disciplines. She received widespread popularity thanks to the first results of the Lobachevskii geometry, "- the statement says the committee.
Fields Medal and Medal (Fields Medal) awarded once every 4 years on the International Congress of Mathematicians to two, three or four young mathematicians under 40 years. Since the Nobel Prize is not awarded to mathematicians, the Fields Medal is often called the "Nobel Prize for mathematics».

Fields Medal Nobel different from that of her hand with an age restriction of 40 years. This is due to the fact that the prize must be not only a recognition of merit, but also an incentive to continue further work.
According to биографии Mirzakhanov , while studying at Tehran school girl first did not have outstanding abilities in mathematics. The teacher did not consider her talented - and she lost interest in this science. But next year the new teacher was able to revive the girl interest in mathematics, and a year later it was considered a star.
In high school, Mariam wanted to prove what can be better than the most talented boys (in Iran there are still some girls' schools - and studied in such Mariam - and other "discrimination" the weaker sex). Before it ever in the national team for the International Mathematical Olympiad was no girls and young Mariam weeks sat at textbooks, to solve the problems with the Olympics and prove his fitness.
four-Mariam was not interested in mathematics. And then it was more interested in books about the adventures she wanted to read all the books in the library i>
In 1994, at age 17 with his girlfriend Miriam Roey Beheshti (currently a professor of mathematics at the University of Washington) became the first in the history of Iranian girls who got into the national team for the International Mathematical Olympiad. The team won the gold medal.
After moving to Harvard University, she knew almost nothing of what teachers say, but the subject was so keen that terrorized the teachers questions. Needless to say that over time, it is completely mastered the course, and when you turn the imagination and offers teachers to determine the correctness of the models described, he did not know what to say.
Even now, say colleagues, Miriam "gives the impression of 17-year-old girl who is absolutely delighted with the whole of mathematics, what is happening around her."
The greatest admiration she called hyperbolic plane (the plane of Lobachevskii) - strange figures with non-standard geometry and saddle-shaped. They can not be built in ordinary space, they exist only in abstract form, where distances and angles are described by a set of equations. But Mariam great imagination to paint them.
In the early 2000s, many relatively simple properties of the hyperbolic plane opened 150 years ago, remained unknown. For example, what would happen to straight lines (geodesics) on a plane. In his doctoral dissertation Mariam elegant answer to this question, so that its decision "as if begging in the textbook", according to colleagues.
After this enlightening dissertation Mariam decided several complex mathematical problems, including offering one-line solution for the problem, which Expected to be practically unsolvable.
37-year-old professor is now continuing an academic career, conducting research in various fields, in collaboration with several colleagues.
Other winners of the Fields Medal in 2014
Arthur Avila (Artur Avila), for their valuable contribution to the theory of dynamical systems, which changed the face of science, with the help of powerful ideas renormalization as a unifying principle.
Manjula Bhargava (Manjul Bhargava) for the development of bright new methods in the geometry of numbers, which he used to enter Calculate rings of small rank and to the borders of the middle rank of elliptic curves.
Martin Hairer (Martin Hairer) for his outstanding contribution to the theory of stochastic partial differential equations, and specifically for the creation of the theory of regular structures for such equations.
