MARYAM MIRZAKHANI AND THE HERITAGE SHE LEFT

摘要

Paper brings a brief life story of Maryam Mirzakhani, the first female Field medallist, and an overview of the great mathematical heritage she has left for us. This legacy comprises not only rich and potential mathematical ideas and strategies to solve difficult problems primarily rooted in the field of hyperbolic surfaces but spanning throughout the large scope of mathematical domains. Message left by her great achievements is an important motivational impulse to all women who dare to work in the still male dominated world of mathematics.
