To Maryam Mirzakhani, one of the top students in an all-girls school in Iran, mathematics seemed “cold” and “pointless” and she never enjoyed mathematics. Her poor grades in her first-year math exams made her and her teacher believe that she doesn’t have an affinity for mathematics. One day, her elder brother told her about the problem of adding numbers from 1 to 100. The problem was assigned to Carl Gauss by his school teacher as a time-consuming exercise but the genius mathematician worked out an ingenious solution in a matter of seconds. In her own words, “That was the first time I enjoyed a beautiful solution, though I couldn’t find it myself”. Having appreciated and experienced the beauty of mathematics, at the age of 17 she won international mathematics Olympiad, at 27, she earned a doctorate in mathematics from Harvard and in 2014, she became the first woman to be awarded the highest honor in mathematics- the fields medal. All of us are born with natural love and flair for mathematics. Whether you are an aspiring musician or an art apprentice, a business enthusiast or a promising athlete a part of the love and beauty of mathematics is already expressed in you. It only takes a moment of flowing inspiration and enchanting motivation to be smitten by it. As Maryam said, “The beauty of mathematics, only shows itself to more patient followers,” so approach it with dedication and interest and you will most certainly enjoy its fruition as did the legendary Ramanujan and his likes for centuries together.
