The Women in Mathematics day, first organized in 2019, celebrates women in Mathematics all over the world. It is in honor of Iranian Mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani, the first and only woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in Mathematics. The chosen day May 12th, 1977 refers to her birthday. Maryam Mirzakhani, who was a professor at Stanford University, died from breast cancer in 2017.
In celebration of International Women in Mathematics Day opens in new tab/window on 12th May, the Mathematics publishing team and Editors of relevant journals have curated a selection of impactful papers published over the last three years (since 2022). Each featured paper has a female mathematician as the corresponding author, and was selected for its impact, novelty, and contribution to the field.

Title: Set
Abstract: SET is a card game invented by geneticist Marsha Falco in 1974. I will talk about this game and its very natural relationship to mathematics. This is based on Diane Maclagan’s article “The Card Game SET.”
