On July 14, 2017, Maryam Mirzakhani, Stanfrd prfessr f mathematics，died at the age f 40. She is recgnized as the first female winner f the Fields Medal in Mathematics internatinally.
The news was especially hard-hitting fr a generatin f yunger academics wh have always held Maryam as a rle mdel whse example is helping redefine wmen’s status in science and especially mathematics. What was fun was that Maryam always tried t avid and resisted the media’s sptlight（聚光灯）. Her mdesty and simplicity despite being the first wman t gain such high status in the wrld f mathematics — winning what’s ften called the “Nbel Prize f math” — std ut t thse wh knew her.
