(March 23, 1882 – April 14, 1935)

Born and bred at the time when gender hindrances deterred women from pursuing tertiary education, Emmy Noether surmounted all odds to become an epoch-making mathematician. She was the phenomenal genius whose revolutions launched maths to marvelous heights. In the process, she made many brilliant souls seem ordinary. The name Noether is synonymous with solutions of great ingenuity and unprecedented rigor. She is by far the greatest female mathematician that ever lived. With regards to Abstract Algebra, there is nobody in the entire human history, great enough to compete with her. Both her father (Max Noether) and brother (Fritz Noether) were also distinguished professors of mathematics. And her nephew (Gottfried Noether: Fritz’s son) was an eminent statistician whose opera omnia included 6 textbooks. Several theorems are named after her, and today’s great mathematicians still doff their hats for her. Her groundbreaking discoveries were as game-changing as they were unparalleled. It was Noether’s theorem that helped Albert Einstein when he was having difficulties in establishing the energy conservation aspects of his Relativity Theory. Several of her works remain indispensable to physics and engineering. This math-matriarch lived for 53 years, but her intellectual footprints will continue to awe future mathematicians. Paul Gordan, Richard Dedekind, David Hilbert, and Hermann Weyl all admired her. She is the eponym of numerous concepts and theorems; in addition to the 7001 Noether minor planet, and the 67-kilometer-wide Noether lunar impact crater. No honor is too grand for this supreme genius, whose methodologies unified various branches of Pure & Applied Maths.

  1. Ꮤhen someone writes an article, if he/she retains the thought of a useг in his/her mind, of how the uѕer can understand it. That’s why this pіece of ѡriting is amazing. Bravo!

  2. I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your posts to be just what I’m looking for.
    Can you offer guest writers to write content for you personally?

    I wouldn’t mind creating a post or elaborating on many of the subjects you write about here.
    Again, awesome web site!

  3. Hello to everybody, as a keen follower of hi-tech developments, I appreciate this blog.
    Without these scientists there will be no hi-tech for us.
    Therefore I’m happy to read about them here.
