This year is the centennial of Noether’s theorem, which is often called the most beautiful result in mathematical physics. Developed by Amalie Emmy Noether (1882-1935), the theorem resolves questions ...

Flawed conservation laws are consequences of a much deeper principle: Noether’s theorem. Conservation laws are among the most important tools in physics. They feel as fundamental as you can get. And ...

Noether's theorem is a thread woven into the fabric of the science. We are able to understand the world because it is predictable. If we drop a rubber ball, it falls down rather than flying up. But ...

Einstein referred to her as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. Her theorem has been recognized as “one of the most important mathematical theorems ever proved in guiding the ...

Emmy Noether was mathematician who was influential in abstract algebra and theoretical physics, and now she is being honored with a Google doodle. Artist Sophie Diao created the doodle that ...

Emmy Noether was one of the most brilliant and important mathematicians of the 20th century. She altered the course of modern physics. Einstein called her a genius. Yet today, almost nobody knows who ...

Emmy Noether may be the most influential mathematician you’ve never heard of. In 1918, she solved a puzzle in Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity. To do that, she created a mathematical ...

Albert Einstein is a household name. Emmy Noether? Never heard of her. Amalie Emmy Noether, born on this day in 1882, has been called a “creative mathematical genius.” She battled sexism throughout ...

Emmy Noether was praised by Einstein for her work in mathematical physics. Like Einstein, she fled Nazi Germany for the U.S.. A play about her life, "Diving into Math with Emmy Noether," will be ...
