First woman to win the Fields medal (maths version of the Nobel Prize).
What's more, numerous Iranian newspapers (she was from there) have broken taboos by printing pictures of her without a head covering.
Still breaking new ground - may reason win out against superstition.

It's interesting to reflect on where you are, and the luck and misfortune that combine to your present state

I know all about Fields Medals, I've watched Good Will Hunting, I practically have one. On a more serious note, super sad post. Condolences.

How is a term like 'first woman/blackman' not sexist/racist
cryborg
She was one of our best mathematicians

Breast cancer.

NPR talking about her death put her in the same realm as Einstein and Francis Bacon. And only in her 40s...

Thank you for posting this. She was a brilliant scientist, and a credit to Iranian innovation.

The Fields medal is only awarded every 4 years, it's much more rare than the Nobel. Her memory and example will live on

Its a shame she passed so young. Her actions will be remembered by all the women who will follow in her footsteps.
FullBrindleJacket
All the scientists who follow her, period.

Jesus. That's awful.

The answer to this, as always, is cancer.

She contributed a lot of very novel work on moduli spaces that others are still building on.

I thought that I wanted to know more... got through the opening statement and realized I don't know anywhere near enough about math...

Lost me at "Weil-Petersson volume", and I studied some maths at university.

It's a bit abstruse, but that's half the fun sometimes :-)

Too many brain cells will eventually kill you; hence I have been at war with mine for many years and doing fine

I don't know why you're being downvoted, your reply gave me a chuckle.

Hype train to hell

Died young - answer is usually cancer. As here.
Cheomesh
In that age group it is still accidents, though cancer isn't far behind.It's above the natural life expectancy so not surprising.
cryborg
Are you speaking about yourself
GregKeen
This makes no sense. Well done.
groundfyter
Or murder, suicide, accident etc.
IWATCHDEATH
Don't forget drugs!
groundfyter
I consider that an accidental death.
IWATCHDEATH
Fair; to me drugs deserve their own categories. Accidents are for cars, doing stupid shit, etc.
