Podcasts about Maryam Mirzakhani

This back to school season, we're bringing back some of our favorite Womanica episodes you might have missed. Today's Womanican is Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017). She was an optimist and an innovator, contributing new points of view and new teachings to the fields of dynamics and geometry. She is the only woman to have won the coveted Fields Medal. This month, we're heading back to school – and we're taking you along with us! For all of September, we'll be bringing back some of our favorite Womanica episodes you might have missed. You'll hear me – and some talented guest hosts – share both iconic and under-appreciated stories. But there's a twist... each week is dedicated to a different school subject. This week: Women you should be learning about in literature classes! History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Hannah Bottum, Lauren Willams, and Adrien Behn.

My guest is Katie Steckles, Mathematician, presenter and communicator. She has written seven books about mathematics, hosts the brilliant Mathemetical Objects podcast where she and her co presenter Peter Rowlatt discuss with their guests, very ordinary objects, and sometimes weird ones, and the mathematics behind and because of that object.The kind of podcast I would love to have made if i were cleverer and had thought of it. It's a very interesting chat about the arbelos, kalaidocycles, bringing the stories of mathematics to light, the skill of not knowing what you are doing, Euclid's brother, Pythagoras's very existence, Jeff Goldblum, and a global maths communications hub built on a submarine in Katie's long term plans.Again apologies for the aperiodical nature of these podcasts - pretend it's another era and post gets held up in winter storms. ANyway it's fitting as Katie's website is call Aperiodical.com and describes that lack of pattern in her blogposts.Things you can look up afterwards - the kaleidocycle, the tetrahedron, Andrew Wyles - the man who solved Fermat's last theorem. Tim Gowers, an expert in combinatorics, Terence Tao, childhood genius who kept getting better, and the late Maryam Mirzakhani. Jurassic Park dragon curve and chaos theory. It's all to do with fractals. And I'm going to do lots more on that.

Un dialogo a due voci sulle prime rappresentanti del mondo scientifico come Ipazia, Madame de Chatelet, compagna di Voltaire, e Sophie Germain, amica di Gauss, entrambe amanti della scienza e donne anticonformiste nell'Età dei Lumi che si estende poi alla schiera, man mano che passa il tempo, di menti brillantissime che hanno avuto accesso agli studi scientifici: figure quali Rita Levi Montalcini e Maryam Mirzakhani (prima Medaglia Fields in rosa), Marie Curie e l'astronauta Judith Resnik, l'imbattibile scacchista Judit Polgár e la farmacista cinese Tu Youyou, Nobel per la Medicina. Un viaggio entusiasmante nella versatilità della mente femminile, capace di raggiungere le massime vette in tutte le discipline portando avanti il cammino dell'umanità. ****************************** 26 Maggio 2023 - Gorizia / Tenda Erodoto (Piazza Cesare Battisti) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vito-rodolfo-albano7/message

Alojz Ihan, Alenka Zupančič, Marina Dermastia in Tomaž Zwitter o dvomu in kritičnem razumu Zadnja tri leta so nam govorili, naj zaupamo v znanost in izsledke raziskav. Govorili so, naj zaupamo in verjamemo poznavalcem, strokovnjakom, znanstvenikom. Vendar; ali ni prav dvom bistvo znanosti? Ali ni kritični razum tisto, kar najbolj krasi inteligentnega človeka? Vprašanja, ki odpirajo širše dileme. Ali moramo zaupati v znanost? Ali lahko verjamemo znanstvenicam in znanstvenikom?

Hoje é dia do "Influencers da Ciência", um Spin-Off do podcast "Intervalo de Confiança". Neste programa trazemos o nome de Influencers que de fato trouxeram algo de positivo para a sociedade, aqueles que expandiram as fronteiras do conhecimento científico e hoje permitiram o desenvolvimento de diversas áreas. Nesse episódio, Sofia Massaro nos convida a sair do eixo do Atlântico Norte ao nos apresentar a notável matemática iraniana Maryam Mirzakhani, famosa principalmente por seus trabalhos em geometria e sistemas dinâmicos. Sendo a primeira mulher a receber a Medalha Fields, maior premiação existente nesse campo da ciência, ela não apenas teve seu trabalho reconhecido, mas inspirou milhares de mulheres interessadas em ciência a persistirem em sua jornada acadêmica. Se prepare para essa incrível jornada. Salaam alaykum!A Pauta foi escrita por Tatiane do Vale.

▶️ C'est un épisode un peu spécial que celui d'aujourd'hui car il a été tourné en public en Mai dernier lors d'un évènement organisé par l'IHES à l'occasion de la journée internationale des femmes en Mathématiques. Cette journée a lieu les 12 Mai et cette date a été choisie en l'honneur de Maryam Mirzakhani, première femme médaillée Fields, trop tôt disparue.  Dans cet épisode, j'ai donc le plaisir de recevoir Tina Nikoukhah, chercheuse au Centre Borelli, le laboratoire de mathématiques de l'ENS Paris-Saclay. Tina travaille sur un sujet pleinement dans l'air du temps : son domaine de recherche est celui du traitement de l'image, et elle s'intéresse plus particulièrement au développement d'algorithmes capables d'en détecter la falsification. Elle collabore notamment avec la police et les journalistes, qu'elle sensibilise et forme aux enjeux de la vérification de l'information. En plus de cela, elle transmet activement ses savoirs aux plus jeunes, de la primaire au lycée. Comme toujours, dans cet épisode, Tina est revenue avec beaucoup d'humour et de spontanéité sur son parcours, des classes préparatoires à son intégration de l'ENSIMAG, sur sa vie de chercheuse actuelle, ce qu'elle en aime et ce qui lui déplaît. Elle nous a également parlé de son travail de recherche de façon très claire et pédagogique. Elle en a d'ailleurs profité pour faire une mise au point sur la place que l'image devrait prendre dans notre société au vu des dernières avancées technologiques. Elle propose des pistes de réflexion très intéressante sur des outils qui pourraient permettre de garder un certain contrôle avec des initiatives tels que le tatouage numérique sur des photos pour attester de leurs véracités par exemple.  Sa carte blanche porte sur l'image des maths dans la société.  L'échange ayant dû se faire dans une version plus courte que d'habitude car en direct, on a décidé de prolonger le plaisir avec Tina et donc la partie live est suivie d'une discussion enregistrée un peu plus tard, juste toutes les deux cette fois.  Voici les recommandations données dans cet épisode : Tina vous recommande le livre "Fake Photos" d'Hany Farid Je vous recommande pour ma part la série collaborative de vidéos "Merveilleux Mathématiciens et Mathématiciennes" sur la chaîne Youtube Thomaths disponible ici : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeF94t-T_gUlKTk9jlxs7un5RCVUjjOUL   l

Sofia Kowalewskaya und Maryam Mirzakhani waren die größten Mathematikerinnen ihrer Zeiten: Sofia, geboren 1850 in Moskau, wurde 1884 die weltweit erste Professorin für Mathematik in Stockholm; Maryam (1977-2017), geboren in Teheran, war Professorin in Stanford und wurde als erste Frau mit der Fields-Medaille ausgezeichnet. Ihre Forschungsgebiete sind höchst unterschiedlich: Sofia beschäftigte sich u.a. mit Partiellen Differentialgleichungen, der Gestalt der Saturnringe, und sie berechnete die Bewegungsgleichungen eines besonderen Kreisels, der nach ihr Kowalewskaya-Kreisel benannt wurde. Maryam leistete herausragende Beiträge in der hyperbolischen Geometrie, etwa zur Dynamik Riemannscher Flächen und ihrer Modulräume. In den Biografien der Frauen finden sich jedoch erstaunlich viele Parallelen - sie überwanden große Hindernisse, um in die Männerwelt der Mathematik Eingang zu finden, beide heirateten erfolgreiche Forscherpersönlichkeiten und bekamen eine Tochter - und beide starben mit knapp 40 Jahren. Was würden sie einander erzählen, wenn sie aus ihren Zeiten heraus und miteinander ins Gespräch treten könnten? Und zu welchen mathematischen Utopien wären sie gemeinsam in der Lage? Könnten sie nicht Grenzen überwinden, die ihnen zu Lebzeiten gesetzt waren? In Hyperbolische Körper nehmen sich Sofia Kowalewskaya und Maryam Mirzakhani die Freiheit, an Naturgesetzen zu drehen und damit Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft gleichermaßen herauszufordern.

Hello from Helsinki! We are very pleased to be bringing you coverage direct from the 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) – one of the highlights of the mathematical calendar. The ICM takes place every four years and it's usually the biggest maths conference of them all, attracting thousands of participants, and also sees the awards of some very prestigious prizes, including the famous Fields Medals. This year's Congress is a little different – it is being held as a fully virtual event with only the prize ceremonies and lectures taking place in-person in Helsinki, Finland on 5 and 6 July. The rest of the schedule fascinating talks from across the spectrum of maths will take place online over the coming week. In this podcast we tell you all the winners of all the prizes being announced today at the ICM and bring you an interview with one of them: Maryna Viazovska, who has won a Fields Medal for a ground-breaking result in the theory of sphere packings. Viazovska is only the second woman to receive a Fields Medal, following on from Maryam Mirzakhani, who won it in 2014. Maryna Viazovska.

Sophie Germain (1776-1831) est une mathématicienne, physicienne et philosophe française. Elle est connue pour le théorème d'arithmétique qui porte son nom, pour ses échanges avec le mathématicien Carl Friedrich Gauss et pour ses travaux sur l'élasticité des corps. Pour pouvoir se consacrer aux mathématiques, alors réservées aux hommes, elle utilisa un nom d'emprunt de 1794 à 1807 : Antoine Auguste Le Blanc.   Soutenez-nous !

Sixteen of today's greatest unsolved mathematical puzzles in a story-driven, illustrated volume that invites readers to peek over the edge of the unknown. Most people think of mathematics as a set of useful tools designed to answer analytical questions, beginning with simple arithmetic and ending with advanced calculus. But, as Mage Merlin's Unsolved Mathematical Mysteries (MIT Press, 2020) shows, mathematics is filled with intriguing mysteries that take us to the edge of the unknown. This richly illustrated, story-driven volume presents sixteen of today's greatest unsolved mathematical puzzles, all understandable by anyone with elementary math skills. These intriguing mysteries are presented to readers as puzzles that have time-traveled from Camelot, preserved in the notebook of Merlin, the wise magician in King Arthur's court. Our guide is Mage Maryam (named in honor of the brilliant young mathematician, the late Maryam Mirzakhani), a distant descendant of Merlin. Maryam introduces the mysteries—each of which is presented across two beautifully illustrated pages—and provides mathematical and historical context afterward. We find Merlin confronting mathematical puzzles involving tinker toys (a present for Camelot's princesses from the sorceress Morgana), cake-slicing at a festival, Lancelot's labyrinth, a vault for the Holy Grail, and more. Each mystery is a sword awaiting removal from its stone, capturing the beauty and power of mathematics. Galina Limorenko is a doctoral candidate in Neuroscience with a focus on biochemistry and molecular biology of neurodegenerative diseases at EPFL in Switzerland.

But, as Mage Merlin's Unsolved Mathematical Mysteries (MIT Press, 2020) shows, mathematics is filled with intriguing mysteries that take us to the edge of the unknown. This richly illustrated, story-driven volume presents sixteen of today's greatest unsolved mathematical puzzles, all understandable by anyone with elementary math skills. These intriguing mysteries are presented to readers as puzzles that have time-traveled from Camelot, preserved in the notebook of Merlin, the wise magician in King Arthur's court. Our guide is Mage Maryam (named in honor of the brilliant young mathematician, the late Maryam Mirzakhani), a distant descendant of Merlin. Maryam introduces the mysteries—each of which is presented across two beautifully illustrated pages—and provides mathematical and historical context afterward. We find Merlin confronting mathematical puzzles involving tinker toys (a present for Camelot's princesses from the sorceress Morgana), cake-slicing at a festival, Lancelot's labyrinth, a vault for the Holy Grail, and more. Each mystery is a sword awaiting removal from its stone, capturing the beauty and power of mathematics.

Leader of Israel's Labor Party Merav Michaeli talks to Christiane Amanpour about how she plans to revive her party and her push for equality. And as the news is dominated by violence against women from London to Istanbul, Turkish novelist and women’s rights activist Elif Shafak criticizes the Turkish government for not supporting women. Then turning to a spot of magic, our Michel Martin speaks to magician and writer Derek DelGaudio about card tricks, his new memoir and his show being taken to the small screen. And finally, the late Maryam Mirzakhani remains the only female winner of the prestigious Fields Medal – the highest honor in mathematics. Her lifelong friend Professor Roya Beheshti shares their shared passion for the subject and Maryam’s lasting impacting on women, both in Iran and around the world.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Maryam Mirzakhani wurde am 12. Mai 1977 in Teheran, Iran geboren und verstarb a. 14. Juli 2017 in Stanford, Kalifornien, USA. Sie war eine weltberühmte iranische Mathematikerin, die 2014 die Fields-Medaille (wie ein Nobelpreis für Mathematik)- als bislang einzige Frau - verliehen bekam. Sie wurde bereits mit 31 Jahren ProfessorinMaryam befasste sich in ihrer Forschung mit der hyperbolischen und symplektischen Geometrie, der Teichmüllertheorie und ihr zentrales Forschungsgebiet war die Theorie der Riemannscher Flächen. Mehr zu dieser beeindruckenden Frau in dieser Podcastepisode aus der Sicht von Cathrin und Kim.Wenn ihr Kontakt zu uns aufnehmen möchtet, schaut hier vorbei: linktr.ee/starkefrauen.#podcast  #podcasts  #podcasting  #podcaster #applepodcasts  #spotifypodcasts #applepodcast #podcasters #podcastaddict #spotifypodcast #googlepodcast #itunespodcast#starkefrauen #frauenunterstützenfrauen #frauen #powerliftingwomen #femalepowerlifter #bosswoman #femlaebusinessowner #womenceo #womenwholead #womanwithambition #womenwhodo #sheboss #weiblichevorbilder #frauenpower #frauenmacht #biografie #rolemodelPhoto Credit: Courtesy Stanford News Service Möchtest Du Cathrin oder Kim auf einen Kaffee einladen und dafür die Episoden werbefrei hören?

As a little girl, Maryam Mirzakhani was spellbound by stories. She loved reading in Tehran's crowded bookstores, and at home she'd spend hours crafting her own tales on giant rolls of paper.Maryam loved school, especially her classes in reading and writing. But she did not like math. Numbers were nowhere near as interesting as the bold, adventurous characters she found in books. Until Maryam unexpectedly discovered a new genre of storytelling: In geometry, numbers became shapes, each with its own fascinating personality--making every equation a brilliant story waiting to be told .As an adult, Maryam became a professor, inventing new formulas to solve some of math's most complicated puzzles. And she made history by becoming the first woman--and the first Iranian--to win the Fields Medal, mathematics' highest award. Maryam's Magic is the true story of a girl whose creativity and love of stories helped her--and the world--to see math in a new and inspiring way.Book: Written by Megan Reid - Illustrated by Aaliya JaleelISBN: 9780062915962Publisher: HarperCollins PublishersPublication date: 01/19/2021Read By: Erin Yeschin with Special Guest, BryantPURCHASE BOOK HERE -> https://bookshop.org/a/18361/9780062915962Check out our new and improved #OneStopBookShop to find new titles for your family to love based on diversity, inclusion, emotional intelligence and growth mindset, while supporting small business and independent book stores alike!

Maryam Mirzakhani - La primera científica en ganar la Medalla Fields.

Professor Maryam Mirzakhani was the first woman to win the prestigious Fields Medal. She died in 2017.

En 80 años de la celebración del galardón Medalla Fields: La (Medalla Internacional para Descubrimientos Sobresalientes en Matemáticas) solo una mujer ha sido premiada. Es usual que que el mundo de la ciencia excluya el trabajo de las mujeres. En este espidosio resaltamo el trabajo de algunas mujeres dentro de la ciencia, y te contamos como ellas revolucionaron dentro de su campo.

Sejam bem-vindos ao centésimo quadragésimo Spin de Notícias, o seu giro diário de informações científicas... em escala sub-atômica. E no programa de hoje conversamos sobre Matemática! A importância histórica de Grace Hopper para a Matemática. Maryan, a matemática e ativista.

Australian mathematician Nalini Joshi pays a personal tribute to the life and legacy of Maryam Mirzakhani, the first female winner of the Fields Medal, who died in 2017.

Algumas áreas das ciências atraem mais mulheres do que homens, mas a matemática, a estatística ou a física não estão entre elas. E quais seriam as razões que limitam a participação das mulheres nas ciências exatas, da terra e engenharias?  Como fazer com que as novas gerações sejam estimuladas a atuar nessas áreas? Como ampliar a representação da mulher e a inclusão no mercado de trabalho tecnológico? Essas foram algumas perguntas da entrevista realizada com Sandra Augusta dos Santos, professora do Departamento de Matemática Aplicada, do Instituto de Matemática Estatística e Ciência da Computação da Unicamp e com a Flavia Roberta Silva, gerente de projetos de uma das maiores empresas de tecnologia de informação do mundo, a IBM. Apesar de um aumento na submissão de projetos de mulheres para as agências de fomento, menor na área de ciências exatas e da terra, e nas engenharias, as duas entrevistadas concordam que ainda é incipiente a presença das mulheres nessas áreas. As duas contam um pouco de como foram as suas trajetórias, marcadas por um grande apoio dos pais para que seguissem a vocação para a matemática e interesse pela ciência da computação. Mas ambas reconhecem que eram exceções. Mesmo assim seguiram adiante e são hoje referências positivas na participação da mulher nas exatas. Sandra e Flavia falam também sobre os movimentos que têm atraído mais mulheres, tanto para as matemáticas quanto para as tecnologias. Movimentos de mulheres, brancas e negras, de diferentes faixas etárias, que procuram mostrar sua força, competência, e também que as exatas não são só para os homens. As entrevistadas ressaltam que as mulheres nessa área se mostram mais empoderadas e engajadas, dando mais visibilidade para a exclusão e como elas têm rompido os padrões. A entrevista trata também de representatividade nos diferentes ambientes, seja na academia, na escola, no cinema, lembrando de personagens que têm feito diferença ao mostrar sucesso nas carreiras, e o quanto podem contribuir nessas áreas. Exemplos como as cientistas negras que tiveram um papel fundamental no programa espacial americano, retratadas no filme Hidden Figures, e cientistas premiadas como a matemática iraniana Maryam Mirzakhani, única mulher a receber a Medalha Fields. Na entrevista são lembradas também várias mulheres que se destacam em suas áreas, como a física Sônia Guimarães, do Instituto de Tecnologia Aeronáutica (ITA), ou as mulheres negras empreendedoras, líderes de startups, como a Patricia Santos de Jesus, do Empregueafro ou a Maitê Lourenço, da Black Rocks, consultoria para aceleração de startups. Sandra e Flavia ressaltam como devem ser mostrados esses exemplos, principalmente em relação às mulheres negras, criando outros referenciais sobre mulheres na ciência e nas ciências exatas.

One of the best kept secrets about mathematicians is that we are often at the tip of the spear in the struggle for social/political causes. We are inspired by the mathematical hell raisers of previous generations, but we are also shaped by their personal tragedies. In 1800 France, Sophie Germain had to publish her works using a male pseudonym. Only recently, Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian born mathematician, became the first female recipient of The Fields Medal, the highest honour in mathematics. In between lies a rich and poignant history of mathematical scientists confronting prejudices, injustices, and social stigmas, sometimes with tragic outcomes. Mathematics comes with its own stories of defeats and victories, not always brought about by its widely publicised intellectual challenges.

The only woman to win the maths world’s biggest prize has died at the age of 40. As the only female winner of the Fields Medal – the maths equivalent to the Nobel Prize – Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani inspired a generation of female mathematicians. We look at her life and her legacy. The first of two special reports reveals a unique Chinese love story involving one of China's most well-known live streamers, and a fan who watches her on a screen every single day. Live streaming is big business in China, with half of the online Chinese community using livestreaming apps in 2016. And why do some people crave the limelight? Jordan Dunbar undergoes an experiment to find out what the limelight does to our bodies, to get a chemical answer.
