Professor Maryam Mirzakhani was the first woman to win the prestigious Fields Medal. She died in 2017.
Join applied mathematician Nalini Joshi to learn about Mittag-Leffler's theorem, a fundamental result in complex analysis that tells us how to build meromorphic functions on the plane with any prescribed set of poles.
Sexual harassment allegations against one of Australia's most esteemed statisticians are forcing the country's science organisations to confront the issue, head on. The science community has been quietly grappling with the issue, but until now it's remained out of the spotlight. Hagar Cohen reveals details of the investigation into Professor Terry Speed.

In 2017 there are Australian universities that still haven’t appointed a single woman to the position of professor of mathematics, a renowned mathematician has said in her keynote speech. And what grinds the gears of professor Nalini Joshi, the University of Sydney’s first woman professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, “is when logical, scientifically trained people make excuses for such situations.”
