The Jan/Feb 2026 issue of the French math magazine, Tangente, features mathematician #MaryamMirzakhani and the #ZalaFilms doc about Mirzakhani's life and work, Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani. tangente-mag.com/numero.php?id=… zalafilms.com/secrets/

Absolutely! You’ll find many biopics about mathematicians to stream at zalafilms.com … Erdos, Zhang, Mirzakhani, Chern, Halmos, Robinson, Hilbert, Graham, Granville, Newell and many more.

Maryam Mirzakhani was a visionary mathematician and the first woman to win the Fields Medal (2014). An Iranian genius and Stanford professor, she revolutionized the study of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces. Her work bridged geometry, topology, and dynamics, solving complex problems about billiards on curved tables. Her deep, visual intuition allowed her to navigate abstract mathematical landscapes that few others could see, leaving an immortal legacy in geometry.

SIAM member and #SIAMMDS24 speaker Moon Duchin (@Cornell) was featured in a @nytimes article, “Moon Duchin on the ‘Mathematical Quagmire’ of Gerrymandering.” Duchin’s work about the mathematics of elections is summarized in this SIAM News article: siam.org/publications/s…
