Maryam Mirzakhani in Secrets of the Surface.
The movie Secrets of the Surface is a tribute to the mathematical work and the person of #Maryam #Mirzakhani
We follow her at Teheran Girls’ High School, at the International Mathematical Olympiad (with her two gold medals), during her studies at #Sharif University of Technology and #Harvard, and later at #Stanford, at the time of her #Fields #Medal in 2014, before concluding with images of and interviews with young pupils and university students in #Iran who show the impact and influence of her persona in the dissemination of mathematics in her native country.
The movie offers several levels of interpretation: we “see” mathematics and mathematical places, and we listen to mathematicians describing the importance and fruitfulness of Maryam Mirzakhani’s work.
We also learn about personal, sometimes dramatic moments in her life, and feel the emotions of those who were close to her.
These different paths allow us to sketch a portrait of Maryam Mirzakhani as a whole, and effectively show how the mathematical and human planes are intertwined, rejecting the usual cliché of the cold, asocial mathematician isolated in his or her own world.
