  • Emmy Noether

    Emmy Noether
    Emily Noether made contributions in abstract algebra, mathematical physics, and representation theory. Noether's theorem explains the fundimental connection between symmetry and conservation laws. She taught at a university untiil the Nazis dismissed all jewish professors. Her groundbreaking work in algebra and theoretical physics led to concepts like " Noether's Theorem, Noetherian rings, Noetherian induction.
