مدال فیلدز برای دومین بار یک ایرانی برنده مدال فیلدز شد: پژوهشگرانی از آلمان، هندوستان، ایران و ایتالیا برندگان مدال فیلدز سال ۲۰۱۸ شدند. در میان نام برندگان مدال فیلدز سال ۲۰۱۸ که در شهر ریودوژانیرو برگزار شد نام یک ایرانی به چشم می‌خورد. این جوان کرد ایرانی که دو دهه پیش به عنوان یک پناهنده به انگلستان وارد شد (اینجا)، اکنون به عنوان دومین ایرانی است که بعد از مریم میرزاخانی فقید، برنده مدال فیلدز می‌شود. کنجکاوی کاشر بیرکار (Caucher Birkar) که متولد مریوان است جذب هندسه جبری شده و وی را به دنیای ریاضی وارد ساخت؛ زمینه‌ای که طوسی و خیام هم بر روی آن کار کرده و پیشرفت‌های چشم گیری در آن به دست آورده بودند. این برای دومین بار است که یک ایرانی برنده جایزه مدال فیلدز می‌شود. مطالب مرتبط: جایزه مریم میرزاخانی در ریاضیات متن کامل خبر از صفحه اینترنتی IMPA نقل شده است و آن را در زیر می‌خوانید: Researchers from Germany, India, Iran and Italy take home the 2018 Fields Medal   Four notable and promising researchers from four different countries – Germany, India, Iran, and Italy – are the winners of the most important international award in mathematics, the Fields Medal. Delivered for the first time in 1936, the medal is recognition for works of excellence and an incentive for new outstanding achievements. Awarded every four years at the world’s largest mathematics event – the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) – the medal will be given this year to Peter Scholze, Akshay Venkatesh, Caucher Birkar, and Alessi Fegalli at ICM’s opening ceremony on August 1st, at Riocentro. Founded by the Canadian mathematician John Charles Fields to celebrate outstanding achievements, the Fields Medal has already been awarded to 56 scholars of the most diverse nationalities, among them, Brazilian Fields laureate Artur Avila, an extraordinary researcher from IMPA, awarded in 2014 in South Korea. Due to its importance and prestige, the medal is often likened to a Nobel Prize of Mathematics. The winners of the Fields medal are selected by a group of renowned specialists nominated by the Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union (IMU), which organize the ICMs. Every four years, between two and four researchers under the age of 40 are chosen. Since 2006, a cash prize of 15 thousand Canadian dollars accompanies the medal.   Meet the winners of the Fields Medal 2018:   Akshay Venkatesh Conquering the greatest honor among the world’s mathematicians before the age of 40 is a notable accomplishment, although the life of Akshay Venkatesh is already marked with precocious feats. Born in New Delhi, India in 1981, and raised in Australia, at age 12 he became a medalist at the International Mathematical Olympiad. From there, he dived into world of mathematics, starting a promising career. When he began his bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Physics at the University of Western Australia, he was a 13-year-old boy. At 20, Venkatesh finished his PhD at Princeton University and soon became an instructor at C.L.E. Moore, at the …
