Mariyam mirzakhani the math 'Genius'dies.

Maryam mirzakhani, an mathematician who was the first woman to win the Fields models.has died in a US hospital after a battle with cancer. She was 40.

Mirzakhani' friend Firouz Naderi announced her death on Saturday on Instagram.

Mirzakhani, a professor at STANFORD UNIVERSITY in California, died after the cancer she had been battling for four years spread to her bone marrow, Iranian media said.

In 2014 Mirzakhani won the Fields Medal, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for Mathematics, which is awarded by the International Congress of Mathematicians.

The award recognized her sophisticated and highly original contributions to the fields of geometry and dynamical systems, particularly in understanding the symmetry of curved surfaces such as spheres.

Born in 1977 and raised in Tehran, Mirzakhani initially dreamed of becoming a writer, but by the time she started high school her affinity for solving mathematical problems and working on proofs had shifted her sights.

"It is fun - it's like solving a puzzle or connecting the dots in a detective case," she said when she won the Fields Medal.

"I felt that this was something I could do, and I wanted to pursue this path."

Mirzakhani said she enjoyed pure mathematics because of the elegance and longevity of the questions she studies.


In 2008 she became a professor of mathematics at Stanford. She is survived by her husband and young daughter.

Chalenge to reed a book in a manth.here's how to did

Meet Therese,read 100 book in a manth.

 she’s a business development manager. Living in  Germany. Last month, she managed to read over 100 nonfiction titles in psychology, politics and leadership.

 she started with a bet. A colleague challenged her to read Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers: The Story Of Success in two hours.

 As determined as she was, She got through the first few chapters relatively quickly but found it impossible to finish the book in the designated 2 hours.And she lost the bet.

 she had an idea. “I want to read more nonfiction books—I find it really useful to read the key takeaways from lots of books to help me get a feeling for what’s an absolute must for my to-read list!”

 She found several websites, blogs and apps that transform books into ‘bite-sized’ content. In the end, she opted for the Blinkist app. As one of the first services to condense nonfiction books into quick reads, the Blinkist app has 1,500 bestselling nonfiction titles in its library (including Outliers: The Story of Success!). To produce quality insights from every book, she learned that they have over 100 literary experts hard at work. She was also convinced the audio function which allowed her to listen to the learnings throughout her day.

 With this cool new sidekick, Therese set a new goal for herself – she would read the key insights from 100 books in just one month.

 She read 102 titles in total,read roughly 3 titles a day, mostly during commutes.

His favorite authoris book is Dale Carnegie’s books, they’re all self-help classics. Richard Dawkins’ books about the human race are also very interesting. But I’m going to settle on Dan Ariely. His book Predictably Irrational on human behavior has given me the best insights for my job yet.

 She  used to burn a lot of time on social media and Netflix.her job is exhausting, by the time she leave work.

indian's overtake the US on Facebook

India has overtaken the US to become Facebook’s largest country audience with a total 241 million active users, compared to 240 million in the US.

The change at the top of the platform’s country rankings comes just a few days after Facebook announced it has more than two billion monthly users around the world, a report in The Next Web on Thursday said.

The portal was quoting figures that the social media giant released to advertisers.

The figures indicate that active users in India were growing more than twice as fast as in the US.

“Active users in India are up 27% in the past six months alone, compared to growth of 12% in the US over the same period,” the report added.

What was puzzling is that despite being the platform’s largest country audience, the social media penetration in India remained low, with just 19% of its total population using Facebook in June.

The figures also lay bare the Facebook’s gender imbalance in India as men still represent three-quarters of the active Facebook profiles.

In contrast, in the US, 54% of the platform’s active users were women.

More than half of India’s Facebook users were below the age of 25.
