California - Female Iranian origin named Mary Mirzakhani successfully carve a new history. It became the world's first air successfully snatch the most prestigious award in mathematics, the Fields Medal gengsinya Nobel equivalent.
Added as The Guardian, Wednesday (13/08/2014), professor of mathematics at Stanford University, California has received the prestigious award in Seoul, South Korea on Wednesday morning.
It won the category of smart mathematician extraordinary talent under the age of 40 years from the International Mathematical Union. Prizes worth 15,000 Canadian dollars, or around 160 million Rupiah's shall be entitled to receive.
Women 31 years this is one of the four candidates receiving Fields Medal at the International Mathematical Congress event. Three other candidates are Martin Hairer, an Austrian teacher at Warwick University, Manjul Bhargava of Princeton University in the United States, and Artur Avila, researchers at the Institute of Mathematics of Jussieu in Paris, France.
Since the first awards Fields Medal in 1936, there have been 56 names to win this competition. Mirzakhani is the only woman.
Official site of Stanford University wrote that Mirzakhani expressed his happiness on the great honor he received. Short haired girl also hopes to inspire and motivate other women young mathematicians. He believes there will be more capable of womanhood other award-winning in the coming years.
Many who gave greetings to Mirkhazani, especially among fellow mathematicians.
"I'm happy today. Women have contributed a lot in the field of mathematics at the highest level, but this fact has not been seen by many people," says Sir Tim Gowers, Fields Medal winning mathematician from the University of Cambridge.
"I hope the first female Fields Medal winning will bring a lot of other women, thus breaking the myth about women and math. Perhaps the young woman can make research in the field of mathematics as later in his career," added Sir Tim Gowers.
"This is an incredible moment. Marie Curie receives the Nobel Physics and Chemistry in the early 20th century, but for math this is the first time a woman won a prestigious award. This is a celebration for all women," says Vice President of the International Mathematics Union , Christiane Rousseau.
Born and raised in Iran, Mirzakhani completed his doctorate at Harvard in 2004, he made The thesis is about how to calculate the volume of moduli spaces of Weil-Petersson theory. His research interests include Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory and geometry simpletis. Currently he teaches about the structure and geometrical surface deformation on the disciples at Stanford.
"I never thought I would pursue in the field of mathematics education after high school," he said in an interview at the University of Oxford in 2008 "I dreamed of being a writer," he says.
When asked his advice for those who are interested in math, Mirzakhani says, "It's difficult questions. I do not think that everyone should become a mathematician. I know many of them who think math is difficult. I never got ugly when the SMA. I just do not understand. "
"No interest will be math, all seemed in vain. Beauty of mathematics can only be realized for those who are keen to learn," close Mirzakhani.
