Fields Medal: Maryna Viazovska

Maryna Viazovska of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) proved that the E8 lattice provides the densest packing of identical spheres in eight dimensions while also solving certain problems in Fourier analysis. More details: www.simonsfoundation.org/2022...

Congratulations to Viazovska and deepest condolences to Yulia Zdanovska's family, friends, and all the lives she touched through her teaching and good spirit ❤

[@wisdomokoro8898]

This is a really deep story and a very deserved medal to a very humble and enduring Mathematiians.

[@UdaySingh-pp6ee]

Just pitched in something else while listening, amount of emotion evolved cant explain in permutation of letters. How easy to take away someone's life in something which is far far away and having no correlation with her. She was enthusiastic, passionate, humble, and supportive throughout her life towards society and her life got ended in such a unimaginable fortune. Sometimes it feels like there is what we are living is based on someone else order to stop and vanish from earth. Salute for Maryna Viazovska 'A Field Medallist' to withstand and facing a disastrous period with such a audacity. Its been a honour to listen about you. History will remember you till human existence. Living legend.

Beautiful comment

[@barneyronnie]

That young Ukrainian mathematician was of infinitely greater value than Putin!!

[@georgegarcia566]

Wow. You dedicated a video about you to your family and your country. That’s love. Congratulations on your achievements.

[@GradStudentTutorials]

This is an amazing achievement, I'm in awe. Also, Yulia's story is heartbreaking.

[@sirushti1132]

congratulations. your work on sphere packing is truly remarkable.

[@omprakashbaruah9425]

People like you fill my heart with hope for tomorrow. Good going, Professor. Hope the scars of war will be over soon and you will be able to return to Kyiv.

[@misteratoz]

Wonderful. I'm so happy for her!

Thank you, Maryna! 💛💙

[@kudzem]

I never thought someone trying to pack spheres in eight dimensions would make me emotional, god bless

[@punksnotdead4766]

What a beautiful episode and amazing talent

[@farruhhabibullaev5316]

Read some of work Maryna Viazovska has done. Pretty impressive and she is well deserved for this prize.

[@viktoriiastakhova7349]

Thank you, Maryna!

[@leshaved]

Thanks for such an important message!

So impressive. I hope many other people see this.

[@gmlssns5859]

Thanks for great works♥︎

[@abhinandanmalhotra8519]

Congratulations and infinite Respect to you Mam !

[@KilgoreTroutAsf]

Congratulations for this incredible achievement.

[@nothing8640]

My first semester algebra professor guided us through the E8 construction in a lecture. After working with some lower dimensional lattices and sphere packings it was quite rewarding. He told us about Viazovska’s proof, and that we could understand it if we read closely. It is part of the reason that I discovered an affinity for mathematics and decided to go to grad school. For this I have to thank Dr. Viazovska. It is incredible to see her receive the Fields medal not just for her contributions to mathematics but also for the accessibility of that work to young mathematicians.

[@barneyronnie]

She developed a rather formidable mathematical arsenal to solve this problem. I'm a PhD mathematician and would require extensive study to fully comprehend her methods...

[@aaalucasaalucas8788]

This inspires me to begin calculus , she is probably a very good teacher

[@francescos7361]

Thansk super optimization and heroic .

[@user-sb5wl3zl9z]

Congratulations to an inspirational and awesome human being ❤

[@TheZaratustra12]

подивився, засльозився, добре, що з вами все ок. Я теж з Києва, мешкаю в Базелі, син захоплюється математикою, одним словом a lot of common points :)

[@shubhmishra3338]

Much respect!

Maryna is amazing !

[@dwylhq874]

Awesome! 😍

[@barneyronnie]

I am pleased that this pleasant , clever and extremely wise woman deservedly was awarded mathematics highest honor!! My thoughts are with the people of the Ukraine.

[@haint7709]

Shine on. Stay strong. Love, it's what matters.

[@barneyronnie]

And don't forget mathematics😅!

[@solarcrystal5494]

Did y'all accidentally upload here when you meant to upload to Quanta Magazine?

[@faraz5275]

Love from india...congratulation ma'am...

[@farhanhyder7304]

Very Inspiring story. Hope war ends soon and young talent is not wasted in stupid wars.

[@nishchayy]

Respect 💐🤘🙏

[@chickennoodlesoup6524]

Wow, she's amazing!

[@deeplearningpartnership]

Incredibly heroic.

[@vonBottorff]

Prime representative of the good side of humanity.

[@siddharthjain2127]

Respect you from India...❤️...

[@SaveSoilSaveSoil]

I listened to one of her talks a few years back (didn't understand a good chunk of it of course) and revisit her website from time to time. I remember staring at one of her pictures and thought "when is the next female Fields medalist". And here we are in 2022! Yes!

[@Tadesan]

Interesting. I don't have thoughts like that.

[@user-li4xn6gm1f]

What does Number Theory have to do with E8 lattice ?

[@butterflywoods4799]

Your Video is good.

[@hugoramonolmedomareco6322]

Congratulations

[@romanchomenko2912]

The future is bright for Ukrainians very talented individuals who use innovations to solve problems. I hope she can publish a book that makes mathematics easier to understand and not off putting. Using music also helps.

[@natashadidyk8525]

Bravo

Watching things like this makes me have hope in humans

[@theencryptedpartition4633]

Is that the girl from the meme

[@harlej9]

This award could not be given to someone more deserving. I hope this pointless war will be stopped soon!

[@barneyronnie]

Tell that to the KGB fanatic, Putin.

[@a.osethkin55]

Damn, of course, she is cool no words. But I hoped that this was not just a review on the topic "there is such a person", but at least a mathematical analysis of her works. Eh.. Thanks

[@devondevon4366]

Second woman to have won, congrat.Would she have won if she were a Russian given that Russian students were banned from this year International Math Olympiad.

[@samyaksambuddha2338]

Russians are not banned from the math Olympiad. They just cannot represent Russia, they can participate independently.

[@barneyronnie]

The Olympiad had little to do with receiving the highest honor in mathematics. Hence, whether or not she was Russiam is irrelevant.

[@untilm]

I wanna be like her

This is going to get very less attention They are busy on something else which doesn't matter.

[@JameBlack]

ого, перша Українка, (якщо не рахувати Дрінфельда, який все ж отримав у 1990), що отримала медаль Філдса. неочікувано

[@maxotbekessov5919]

Gloria to Ukrain!!!

[@user-os2jf3fw4u]

A sad reality.

[@KimMorgan-hc3rk]

We are all affected by the destruction wrought on Ukraine by the evil might of Putin Russia. We grief with Ukrainian people and pray for them to defeat the barbaric invader!

[@ronaldchristenkkson]

I don't understand math, but I hope the FIELDS medal was given on MERIT and not POLITICAL CORRECTNESS (cough...cough... war in Ukraine...cough...cough).

[@instinx9154]

If you did understand math, you would understand how important work in Fourier Analysis is

[@garlottos]

What can you do with this information? Seems pretty useless

[@namelikeanyother885]

Toootally a coincidence that the first Ukrainian to get a Fields Medal gets it after Ukraine becomes politically the most important country in the world

[@ArnoldSommerfeld]

Ya think?

[@soyokou.2810]

Vladimir Drinfeld won it before her. It's also not that surprising even without the war. She's been receiving an award every year now since 2016, including the Breakthrough prize and the Fermat prize.

[@TheMap1997]

She only got this award because Ukraine got invaded. If nothing happens to Ukraine, the award would go to an even more outstanding mathematician
