Two Chinese mathematicians have made history after winning the prestigious Fields Medal, widely considered the highest honor in mathematics. Hong Wang and Yu Deng were recognized alongside two other researchers for solving long-standing mathematical problems that had challenged experts for more than a century. Wang, 35, also became only the third woman ever to receive the award, which is given every four years to outstanding mathematicians under the age of 40. #maths #china #news #fieldsmetal #mathematics
