Mathematician:Emmy Noether

Mathematician
German-born mathematician who made considerable contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics.

Most famous for Noether's Theorem which makes the fundamental connection between symmetry and various laws of conservation.

Her philosophy and outlook were fundamental in the development of ideas that led to the establishment of the field of category theory.

Daughter of.

Also known as
Emmy Noether was born Amalie, but everyone knew her informally as Emmy.

Some sources give her first name as Amelie', but this may be a mistake.
