About this item
From Althea Gibson author Megan Reid and rising star artist Aaliya
Jaleel, illustrator of Under My Hijab, comes the first picture book
about trailblazing mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman to win the
world’s most prestigious honor in mathematics. Perfect for fans of Hidden
Figures and Mae Among the Stars.
As a little girl, Maryam Mirzakhani was spellbound by stories. She loved
reading in Tehran’s crowded bookstores, and at home she'd spend hours crafting
her own tales on giant rolls of paper.
Maryam loved school, especially her classes in reading and writing. But she
did not like math. Numbers were nowhere near as interesting as the bold,
adventurous characters she found in books. Until Maryam unexpectedly discovered
a new genre of storytelling: In geometry, numbers became shapes, each with its
own fascinating personality—making every equation a brilliant story waiting to
be told.
As an adult, Maryam became a professor, inventing new formulas to solve some
of math's most complicated puzzles. And she made history by becoming the first
woman—and the first Iranian—to win the Fields Medal, mathematics’ highest
award.
Maryam's Magic is the true story of a girl whose creativity and love
of stories helped her—and the world—to see math in a new and inspiring way.
