Died the only subject, the fields medal received the award woman-mathematician
Iranian mathematician and the only woman to be awarded the prize subject, the fields medal, Maryam Mirzakhani died at age 40. The cause of death was probably breast cancer. Mirzakhani presented the award in 2014, with the wording “for outstanding contributions to the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and to the theory of spaces of their modules”.

The cause of death was probably breast cancer, which found Mirzakhani four years ago. The last time she was in the hospital, as her condition deteriorated significantly.
