On Wednesday, May 12, join the AMS in marking International Women in Mathematics Day. It is a day to celebrate the achievements of women in mathematics and reflect on how to create a more welcoming and inclusive work environment for everyone. Check the May 12 website to find in-person events and ways to get involved virtually.
The date of May 12 honors Maryam Mirzakhani, a world-leading expert in geometry and dynamical systems and the first woman to win the Fields Medal. Mirzakhani was born on May 12, 1977, and died of cancer in 2017. Learn more (PDF) about this extraordinary mathematician in the Notices of the AMS or watch the documentary Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani.
