In August 2014 Maryam Mirzakhani became the first woman to be awarded the Fields Medal. For work is which discipline is the Fields Medal awarded?
"Maryam Mirzakhani Maryam Mirzakhani (, ; 12 May 1977 – 14 July 2017) was an Iranian mathematician and a professor of mathematics at Stanford University. Her research topics included Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory, and symplectic geometry. In 2005, as a result of her research, she was honored in ""Popular Science's"" fourth annual ""Brilliant 10"" in which she was acknowledged as one of the top 10 young minds who have pushed their fields in innovative directions. On 13 August 2014, Mirzakhani was honored with the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in mathematics. Thus, she became both the first"
"was the first recipient of the award, for her work on symplectic geometry. A joint award was made for the only time in 2001, when Karen E. Smith and Sijue Wu shared the award. The 2013 prize winner was Maryam Mirzakhani, who, in 2014, was the first woman to be awarded the Fields Medal. This is considered to be the highest honor a mathematician can receive. She won both awards for her work on ""the geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces"". The most recent winner is Laura DeMarco, who was awarded the prize in 2017 for her ""fundamental"
"since 1950. Its purpose is to give recognition and support to younger mathematical researchers who have made major contributions. In 2014, the Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani became the first woman Fields Medalist. In all, sixty people have been awarded the Fields Medal. The most recent group of Fields Medalists received their awards on 1 August 2018 at the opening ceremony of the IMU International Congress, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The rim bears the name of the prizewinner. In terms of the most prestigious awards in STEM fields, only a small proportion have been awarded to women.

"the proof was found in 1993. In 2006, Grigori Perelman, who proved the Poincaré conjecture, refused his Fields Medal and did not attend the congress. In 2014, Maryam Mirzakhani became the first woman as well as the first Iranian to win the Fields Medal, and Artur Avila became the first South American and Manjul Bhargava became the first person of Indian origins to do so. The medal was designed by Canadian sculptor R. Tait McKenzie.

She shared the prize with Martin Hairer, Manjul Bhargava, and Artur Avila. It is a prize awarded to two, three, or four mathematicians not over 40 years of age at each International Congress of the International Mathematical Union, and is often viewed as the greatest honor a mathematician can receive. 2016: French mathematician Claire Voisin received the CNRS Gold medal, the highest scientific research"
"Bảo Châu and Maryam Mirzakhani have gone on to become notable mathematicians. Several former participants have won awards such as the Fields Medal. The examination consists of six problems. Each problem is worth seven points, so the maximum total score is 42 points. No calculators are allowed. The examination is held over two consecutive days; each day the contestants have four-and-a-half hours to solve three problems. The problems chosen are from various areas of secondary school mathematics, broadly classifiable as geometry, number theory, algebra, and combinatorics. They require no knowledge of higher mathematics such as calculus and analysis, and solutions"
"closures of complex geodesics are algebraic objects defined in terms of polynomials and therefore they have certain rigidity properties, which is analogous to a celebrated result that Marina Ratner arrived at during the 1990s. The International Mathematical Union said in its press release that ""It is astounding to find that the rigidity in homogeneous spaces has an echo in the inhomogeneous world of moduli space."" Mirzakhani was awarded the Fields Medal in 2014 for ""her outstanding contributions to the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces"".

Moreover, an individual can only be awarded one Fields Medal; laureates are ineligible to be awarded future medals.

Mirzakhani made several contributions to the theory of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. Mirzakhani’s early work solved the problem of counting simple closed geodesics on hyperbolic Riemann surfaces by finding a relationship to volume calculations on moduli space. Geodesics are the natural generalization of the idea of a ""straight line"" to ""curved spaces"". Slightly more formally, a curve is a geodesic if no slight deformation can make it shorter. Closed geodesics are geodesics which are also closed curves—that is,"
