Emmy Noether
Emmy Noether () was a German mathematician. She is considered to be one of the most important mathematicians of the 20th century. Her work continues to be influential today.
Childhood And Early Life
Amalie Emmy Noether was born on March 23, , in Erlangen, Bavaria in what was then the German Empire. Her parents were Max Noether, a well-known mathematician, and Ida Amalia Kaufmann. She was the eldest of their four children and their only daughter.
During her childhood and high school years, Emmy did not concentrate in mathematics. Instead, she studied English and French and became very proficient, and learned to play the piano.
Career
Emmy Noether earned the qualification to teach English and French but instead chose to further her studies. She attended the University of Erlangen to study mathematics at a time when the presence of women as students or professors was not well tolerated. In fact, Noether was one of only two female students, and while they were allowed to audit the classes, they could not fully participate. In she enrolled at the University of Göttingen, and then returned to the University of Erlangen in , finally allowed to

Biography
Emmy Noether's father, Max Noether, was a distinguished mathematician and a professor at Erlangen but he came from a family of wholesale hardware dealers. Her mother was Ida Amalia Kaufmann (), from a wealthy Cologne family. Both Emmy's parents were of Jewish origin and the reader may be surprised at this since Noether is not a Jewish name. We should explain, therefore, how this came about and, at the same time, give some information on Emmy Noether's ancestors. Max Noether's paternal grandfather was Elias Samuel, the founder of a business in Bruchsal. Elias had nine children, one being a son Hertz Samuel. In the State of Baden made the Tolerance Edict which required Jews to adopt Germanic names. Elias Samuel chose the surname Nöther, becoming Elias Nöther, but also changed the given names of his children, giving Hertz the name Hermann. When he was eighteen years old, Hermann Nöther left his home town of BruchsNice Girls Don’t Do Math
Human history is littered with people who changed the world, only to have their achievements erased from popular memory. Gay men like computing pioneer Alan Turing, women like mathematician Ada Lovelace, even pure oddballs like Nikola Tesla were left out the curriculum for decades. Thankfully, this is no longer the case. On the internet, everyone from the Navajo code talkers, to NASA’s black, female number crunchers are having their stories told.
But what if we told you that there’s a name still missing from their ranks, one that should be on everyone’s lips. The name of a female mathematician so influential her work may be second only to that of Albert Einstein. Her name was Emmy Noether, and her work changed history.
Born into a German-Jewish family in the late 19th Century, Noether grew up in a world designed to reject people like her. Barred from attending university due to her gender, she nonetheless managed to attain a grasp of mathematics so phenomenal that her work created an entire discipline. Anonymous in her lifetime, ignored by posterity, this is the life of Emmy Noether, the most-important mathematician the world forgot.

She has been described by great scientists such as Albert Einstein as the most important woman in mathematics history. She revolutionized theories such as rings, algebras and fields.
Early Life
Emmy was born on March 23, , in Bavaria, Germany. Her father was Max Noether. He descended from a family of traders in Germany. Emmy was the first of four children. Initially, she was named Amalie after her grandmother and mother. After a while, she started using her middle name at a young age.
As a young girl, she was well liked but did not excel academically despite being known as clever and friendly. She was near-sighted and talked with a minor lisp as a young girl.
