Math to Art and Back Again

Doubling up — a joyful update
The version of this article published in the AMS Notices went to press at the end of June 2022, at which time the description of Maryam Mirzakhani as “to date the only woman awarded a Fields Medal” was perfectly accurate. We are delighted that this is no longer the case: on July 5, 2022, Maryna Viazovska was awarded a Fields Medal for “the proof that the E8 lattice provides the densest packing of identical spheres in 8 dimensions, and further contributions to related extremal problems and interpolation problems in Fourier analysis” (source: International Mathematical Union).
Maryam Mirzakhani is still the first woman awarded a Fields medal but no longer the only one!
