Beschreibung

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