Now let me school you - it was Arabs that introduced Mathematics and not Islam. Obviously you are oblivious to the fact that Arabic and Islam are mutually exclusive and are not one and the same. There are also Arabic Christians if you must know and tribes like the Yazidi are not Muslims.

Know your FACTS and stop coming here to teach falsehood

Those people were't even Arabs, original Arabs are the primitive folks in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Levant, Persian and Turks (the who contributed to science ) are not Arabs

omenka: You guys saying all these are the ones bringing religion into this!! In what way did the said posters bring religion into it When something nice happens and people go, "amen!!!!" no one says they are attaching religion or something, but when a muslim speaks, we all want to pounce on them and shut them up!!

They didn't violate any rules on the forum so I suggest you guys let them be. You people are displaying the religious intolerance which we have been preaching must end if we ever aspire to make it far as a nation.

Cheers.

I am even being civil and I dont attach religion. Read the posts of the First few posters. It is like making it an Islamic Affair. Even the Topic of the thread attached "Muslim". Haba!!!

Maryam Mirzakhani was born in 1977 in Tehran, Iran. She went to high school in Tehran at Farzanegan, National Organization for Development of Exceptional Talents (NODET). She competed and was recognized internationally for her math skills, receiving gold medals at both the 1994 International Mathematical Olympiad (Hong Kong) and the 1995 International Mathematical Olympiad (Toronto),[13] where she was the first Iranian student to finish with a perfect score.[13][14][15]

She obtained her BSc in mathematics (1999) from Sharif University of Technology in Tehran. She went to the United States for graduate work, earning a PhD from Harvard University (2004), where she worked under the supervision of the Fields Medalist Curtis McMullen. She was also a 2004 research fellow of the Clay Mathematics Institute and a professor at Princeton University.

She is married to Jan Vondrák, a Czech theoretical computer scientist who works at IBM Almaden Research Center.[21][22] They have a daughter named Anahita.

It is very scary how some people see everything from a "religious" point of view.

Congrats to the laureate.

It shows that if a nation looks inwards they can find success.

numericalguy: Dumb black people especially Nigerians don't know that Islam introduced mathematics to the world.

The 1,2,3,4,5,6... that you have been studying since primary school is Arabic
Muslims are the first people to introduce the number 0 (zero) to the world.
Muslims introduced the science of Mathematics to the otherwise illiterate Europeans.

Watching CNN and BBC alone will never educate you.
Read! Read!! Read!!!

FALSE.

RayMcBlue: Somehow, the Nairaland Muslims have turned this great feat from the Iranian - which btw has no religious undertone whatsoever - into an Islamic Conquest. Wow! Just Wow! Islamic inferiority complex rearing it's ugly head yet again.

You are just being paranoid. I read the comments here up to your comment, I didn't see any post that mentioned Islam or linked the achievement to Islam. You are suffering inferiority complex. Get a life.

Lobatan. no be only marshal law, na brigadier law. A more recent pic of the Prof. Muslims are the most cunning fellows of the present time, worse than some Nigerian pastors. She even looks older when she was receiving the award.

Arosa:

The muslims may have introduced zero to the world but Indians(non-muslims) knew about it earlier.

You don't know how to lie sef.
Its like telling me Indians invented Igbo language and tought it to Igbos. Guy! You are not making sense at all.

Zero is an Arabic language and Muslims have used it in science for many many years before the rest of the world caught on.

Its too late to change history boy!

maasoap: You are just being paranoid. I read the comments here up to your comment, I didn't see any post that mentioned Islam or linked the achievement to Islam. You are suffering inferiority complex. Get a life.

Maybe u need to read the title of the thread again. So, how do we know she is a muslim if some of your journey men did not link her achievement with islam?

obisage:
exactly what happened to me...
2a x 12x = 24ax find y...

how do u expect me to pass maths??

guyz una just won kill me wit laugh

Your hatred for Islam is driving you fastly into your grave. Islam was institutionalized about 1400 years after Christianity, yet, church-goers like you are so obsessed with Islam.

Maisuya1: Masha Allah,

I pray my wife studying mathematics at masters level surpasses that feat.

Can I get an ameen to that?

.
ameen!

Haters!...keep hating. The success achieved by her is another proof to nullify the conspiracy and misconception the west and foreign media, has forcefully labeled on muslim, which you often hate to see/hear.
This is no form of inferiority complex...When a christain cheats during my secondary school days..IT IS NORMAL, nobody talks about it (because its a christain school). When a muslim does the same, in the same school, he/she recieves the hardest form of punishment, if not suspended. With many, stigmatizing the culprit....This form of marginalization must stop.

Pay me and I will make your 59Likes round up to 60Likes

Why won't she won it? When all the Iranian men are busy fighting jihad.

J12:

Seriously? Must everything be about gender equality? This is just stupid

abeg tell them ohh, abi was there ever a competition between men and women (that started this gender equality tingy) that am not aware of

http:

Can you leave the Arabs to their problem and let us Nigerian face our serious problem at home...

....sir,i strongly believe in interventionism-more also in the well-being of others including myself.the message is we should not kill the stars because of our beliefs......

diamond4life: good. but knowledge is power and power is wisdom. but we all av our very special area of interests. eg i didnt usually get less than a distinction in maths throughout my school days, but am not using it at all in my chosen career. (the answer is -3 by using bodmas)

thanks for ur understanding bro.
I tot you'd call me foolish like the regular Nairalanders.
I'm into multimedia and the little maths I know is sustaining me.

bonaventure73: Wow.. The first good news from iran since 1800

c as this comment the chop likes.

NobleG1: For her being a Muslim and great in Mathematics (Western education), Boko Haram would have killed her if she was a Nigerian .

dis same people dat are killing students are rushing to congratulate her,i wonder oo!
some even say dat obama will feel bad so d whole lot dat america have been doing scientiffically no follow.
i am a science student,memorizeng maths or solveng somebodys work ,no be where work day oo,
d work na to apply mathematicall reasoning nd deductions in building scientific equipments which usa,western countrys ,japan nd china are still leading.
solve d whole maths bt cant produce anytin is rubbish.
micheal faraday is a mathmatician produced tranformer,albert ainstein produced nucler b.
dis wonan produced (0)

freshness2020: I have lost an adjective to describe her feat.
What!! Anyways, congrats ma.

You can use a Noun to describe her feat e.g. you can say " she is a witch" .

Timijo: Why won't she won it? When all the Iranian men are busy fighting jihad.

Your English is pathetic, where you imPatience Jonathan's class mate. You are definitely less educated than the Arabs you all abuse.

hahaha see beef o!

If you were one of the judges that awarded the prize, you would have asked them to crucify her.
Them haters are having serious headache and stomach pain.
Eiya! pele.

Know your FACTS and stop coming here to teach falsehood

I know your type, you have been brainwashed to hate Arabs and/or Muslims.

Go back in history and you will find out that it was the Muslims that brought learning and education to mankind. Even the whites (your slave masters) know this and are rather silent on the matter because they know they can never change history.

I'm sure you are also very much ignorant of the fact that the oldest university in the world is an Islamic institution located in Arab land where science was studied at a time when the whole of Europe was wallowing in ignorance, magic and superstition.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but its too late to change history.
Watching CNN and BBC is not enough to educate you. Please learn to read books also.

K...so where is the noun in this sentence?

Hate Arabs? Hate Muslims? So I don't expose you for who you really are - a paranoid, blinded, hate-filled and mis-educated jingoist, I will not waste my time disproving you half baked wit.

I will reiterate, Arabs and Arabic language is mutually exclusive of Islam and even though many Arabs are muslim, it does not mean ALL Arabs are muslim. Take some time to learn and gain knowledge and stop this BS of we against the world.

J12:

I believe in GE and I agree with your post

If men do the work, let them get the credit & vice versa.

The writer of the article just rubbished the woman's handwork by suggesting that she was given the prize because she is a woman and not because she deserves it.

OP: Kudos to the woman &her fellow awardees

IbrahimMav: Alhamdulillahi.

A definite proof that Islam promotes and encourage Mathematics in all gender contrary to what western media would have you believe.

Masha Allah.

Abeg!

Enough of this muslim this and that

Is Noble prize an Islamic award?

A woman excelled in her field and instead to celebrate her and encourage others to emulate her, you guys turned it to a religious affair.

Gorrbachev: My goodness, see inferiority complex. They even looked for an old picture of the Prof. where she is wearing a head cover. Person wey dey rock low cut. the cunningness of muslims irritates me. damn

Please post a current picture

Editted:

OP can you please change your picture and topic?

The most recent picture of her shows she is on low cut. Except you are telling us that some muslim women are exempt from the headcover, I do not think our prof is a poster woman for excelling muslim women

She has been living in the USA for 15 years. And I doubt that she has considered yourself as a muslim.
