Maryam Mirzakhani passed away today... She was the first woman to win the prestigious Fields Medal prize.
I would like to remember her last post on facebook: ''The more I spent time on maths, the more excited I got.''

I saw your profile picture and immediately connected it to the news of her passing. Thanks for sharing this; I hope everyone sees it. She has my condolences.
It is very saddening to hear about the demise of a mathematician at such a young age. However, she would be immortalised through her contributions to mathematics. May her soul rest in peace.
