Her passing and leaving behind a young daughter reminds me of the loss of my mother due to breast cancer when I was a child. I am saddened by the set back her passing will have on the field of mathematics, but more angry at the destructive power this disease has on families. I pray her child and spouse learn to live with this burden.
I'm floored. This is a very significant loss, not just for her family and friends but for the entire field of mathematics. The subject has been set back for years.
Hey dang, may we please have a black bar? Maryam was a massive contributor to mathematics, and we've already seen multiple threads hit the front page about her passing. It would seem she deserves the honor.
