Introducing Emmy Noether
The mathematician Emmy Noether was a "creative mathematical genius" (Albert Einstein) whose work had far-reaching impact beyond the world of pure mathematics. This collection brings together content exploring Noether's life and work, including a look at the play Diving into maths with Emmy Noether. Enjoy!
Emmy Noether: A creative mathematical genius — Here's a quick and easy introduction to the kind of mathematics Noether pursued, its link to physics, and a brief look at her life.
Emmy Noether: Against the odds — This article provides a glimpse of Noether's mathematical life and the challenge she faced as a female mathematician in the early 20th century.
Emmy Noether and the power of symmetry — How does Noether's work in pure mathematics link up with physics? Find out more in this article.
Living proof: Diving into maths with Emmy Noether — In this episode of our podcast we hear about Emmy Noether and the play Diving into maths with Emmy Noether from mathematics historian David E. Rowe, who provided mathematical advice for the play.
