Özet

Emmy Noether 1882–1935: A photo of Emmy Noether. Biography Amalie Emmy Noether was born in Erlangen (This biographical sketch follows Auguste Dick’s biography of Emmy Noether.), Germany in March 23, 1882 to Ida Amalia Kaufmann (1852–1915) and Max Noether (1844–1921) who was also a mathematician. All her official education was in Erlangen. In 1904, she matriculated at Erlangen University. Noether’s doctoral studies were supervised by Paul Gordan and her doctor’s degree is dated 1907. After receiving her degree, Noether mainly worked at Erlangen and Göttingen Universities. In 1915, she moved to Göttingen upon the invitation of Felix Klein and David Hilbert where she received her habilitation in 1919. Noether’s lectures in Göttingen were promoted with Hilbert’s name as the lecturer and Noether’s name as the assistant of the course until 1923 when she finally had a contract. Noether stayed in Göttingen until 1933. That year her right to teach was suspended by the Nazi Government and she immigrated to the United States for a visiting professorship at Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania. During her time in the United States, Noether also lectured at Princeton. Unfortunately, this last period in Noether’s life did not last very long and she passed away on April 14, 1935 in Bryn Mawr, due to complications following a surgery. Noether became a member of the Circolo Matematico di Palermo and the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung early in her career. She served as a non-official editor for Mathematische Annalen. She co-edited Richard Dedekind’s work and the correspondence between Dedekind and Georg Cantor. A year before her emigration she was awarded, together with Emil Artin, the Alfred Ackermann-Teubner Memorial Prize for the Advancement of the Mathematical Sciences. Selected Bibliography (1908).
