The “Algebra 1” lecture, which I attended in my third semester, basically followed the structure of the book “Algebra” by Bartel Leendert van der Weerden (1903-1996). At the time, I didn’t care for the subtitle “Using Lectures by E. Artin and E. Noether”. It was only through reading this book that I discovered that I benefited from the great achievement of Emmy Noether: she decisively developed a reorientation of algebra away from concrete arithmetic techniques and toward abstract structures such as sets, loops, and solids.
During my studies, her name appeared later in Theoretical Physics. Every conservation law has a symmetry and vice versa. For example, conservation of energy stems from the fact that physical laws are the same with respect to changes in time: they remain unchanged (constant) if the zero point for calculating time is placed on a different date. This is the content of the theories that became famous as “Noether’s theories”.
I was plagued by oppression
As far as science is concerned, Emmy Noether’s time is not far from the present. Very different from her life story. The obstacles that get in her way seem from another world. They were just a century ago. When Amalie Noether, who later called herself Emmy, was born in Erlangen in 1882 as the daughter of a mathematics professor, the idea that a woman could earn her living through work was considered absurd – and to do so through scientific work was downright absurd. . Formal justifications of the time, such as those offered by the Munich anatomist Theodor Bischoff, sound hair-raising today: “The work in the study and practice of medicine contradicts and violates the best and noblest aspects of female nature, the humility, humility, compassion and mercy with which she excels herself before The remembrance “.
