Ukrainian mathematician wins a Fields Medal
Maryna Viazovska wins the maths 'Nobel' for her work on multidimensional lattice packing.
I couldn’t let it go unremarked that a Ukrainian has just won a Fields Medal: the maths equivalent of a Nobel Prize.
Maryna Viazovska, who is currently based in Lausanne, was awarded the medal for her work on the most efficient way of packing spheres in eight dimensions.
Slava Ukraini!
