Anna Srapionyan: The Language of Writing the Universe

MathArt is a joint project by Mediamax and Volo highlighting the talents developing Mathematics in Armenia. 

In this article, Anna Srapionyan, a PhD Candidate in Applied Mathematics at Cornell University, talks about Armenia's advantages in mathematics and  the important role FAST (Foundation for Armenian Science and Technology) is playing in the development of mathematics in Armenia:
