Education Emmy Noether scored very well in the examination in to let her teach the languages. Emmy Noether Death Doctors discovered a tumor in her pelvis in Summary Emmy Noether is most known for her contributions in mathematics and physics, the most popular contribution is to abstract algebra, and her study of chain conditions on ideals of rings.

She died on 14 April Did Emmy Noether get married? Then in , together with his brother Joseph, he set up a wholesale business in iron hardware. The two children older than Max were Sarah born 6 November and Emil. One other comment is necessary at this point. Emmy was the eldest of her parents' four children, the three younger children being boys. Alfred Noether - studied chemistry and was awarded a doctorate from Erlangen in However, his career was short since he died nine years later.
Fritz Noether - became an applied mathematician. However, as a Jew he was unable to work and left Germany in He was appointed as a professor at the University of Tomsk in the Soviet Union but accused of anti-Soviet acts he was sentenced to death and shot. He was found not guilty by the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union in Gustav Robert Noether - had bad health all his life. He was mentally handicapped, spent most of his life in an institution and died young.
The first school that Emmy attended was on Fahrstrasse. Auguste Dick writes [ 5 ] :- Emmy did not appear exceptional as a child. Playing among her peers in the schoolyard on Fahrstrasse she probably was not especially noticeable - a near-sighted, plain-looking little girl, though not without charm.
Her teachers and classmates knew Emmy as a clever, friendly, and likeable child. She had a slight lisp and was one of the few who attended classes in the Jewish religion. At the high school she studied German, English, French, arithmetic and was given piano lessons. She loved dancing and looked forward to parties with children of her father's university colleagues. At this stage her aim was to become a language teacher and after further study of English and French she took the examinations of the State of Bavaria and, in , became a certificated teacher of English and French in Bavarian girls schools.
She was awarded the grade of "very good" in the examinations, the weakest part being her classroom teaching. However Noether never became a language teacher.
Instead she decided to take the difficult route for a woman of that time and study mathematics at university. Women were allowed to study at German universities unofficially and each professor had to give permission for his course. Noether obtained permission to sit in on courses at the University of Erlangen during to She was one of only two female students sitting in on courses at Erlangen and, in addition to mathematics courses, she continued her interest in languages being taught by the professor of Roman Studies and by an historian.
At the same time she was preparing to take the examinations which allowed a student to enter any university. Again she was not allowed to be a properly matriculated student but was only allowed to sit in on lectures. At this point the rules were changed and women students were allowed to matriculate on an equal basis to the men.
On 24 October Noether matriculated at Erlangen where she now studied only mathematics. In she was granted a doctorate after working under Paul Gordan. The oral examination took place on Friday 13 December and she was awarded the degree 'summa cum laude'.
Hilbert 's basis theorem of had given an existence result for finiteness of invariants in n n n variables. Gordan , however, took a constructive approach and looked at constructive methods to arrive at the same results.
Noether's doctoral thesis followed this constructive approach of Gordan and listed systems of covariant forms. Colin McLarty writes that [ 39 ] So far as I know no one has ever completed it or even checked it as far as she went. It was old-fashioned at the time, a witness to the pleasant isolation of Erlangen, and made no use of Gordan 's own work building on Hilbert 's ideas.
Having completed her doctorate the normal progression to an academic post would have been the habilitation. However this route was not open to women so Noether remained at Erlangen, helping her father who, particularly because of his own disabilities, was grateful for his daughter's help. Noether also worked on her own research, in particular she was influenced by Ernst Fischer who had succeeded Gordan to the chair of mathematics when he retired in Noether wrote about Fischer 's influence:- Above all I am indebted to Mr E Fischer from whom I received the decisive impulse to study abstract algebra from an arithmetical viewpoint, and this remained the governing idea for all my later work.
Fischer 's influence took Noether towards Hilbert 's abstract approach to the subject and away from the constructive approach of Gordan. Now this was very important to her development as a mathematician for Gordan , despite his remarkable achievements, had his limitations.
Noether's father, Max Noether , said of Gordan see [ 3 ] :- Gordan was never able to do justice to the development of fundamental concepts; even in his lectures he completely avoided all basic definitions of a conceptual nature, even that of the limit. Noether's reputation grew quickly as her publications appeared. In she was elected to the Circolo Matematico di Palermo , then in she was invited to become a member of the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung and in the same year she was invited to address the annual meeting of the Society in Salzburg.
In she lectured in Vienna, again to a meeting of the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung. While in Vienna she visited Franz Mertens and discussed mathematics with him.
One of Merten's grandsons remembered Noether's visit see [ 5 ] During these years in Erlangen she advised two doctoral students who were both officially supervised by her father. However, she opted to study mathematics enrolling herself at the same academic institute where her father lectured, University of Erlangen.
Paul Gordon supervised her dissertation which she completed in That was the time when women were overlooked for academic positions, thus Emmy worked for seven years without pay at the Mathematical Institute of Erlangen. A leading Dutch mathematician, B. In , a year following her address Germany was occupied by Nazis who expelled all the Jews from government positions which rendered Emmy to migrate to United States.
She was offered a position at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. Her mathematical work is divided into three components chronologically.
The first era is the one marked by her contribution to number fields and algebraic invariants during The second era is marked by her work that fundamentally altered the landscape of algebra that began in and lasted for six years.
