Emmy Noether
(redirected from Emma Noether)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Noether, Emmy 

Born Mar. 23, 1882, in Erlangen; died Apr. 14, 1935, in Bryn Mawr, USA. German mathematician.

From 1922 to 1933, Noether lectured at the University of Göttingen. Her work in algebra facilitated the creation of a new branch of mathematics known as general, or abstract, algebra (the general theory of rings, fields, and ideals); Noether’s name is associated with a fundamental theorem of theoretical physics that links conservation laws with the symmetries of a system (see). In 1928–29 she lectured on algebra at Moscow University.
