Emmy Noether (1882-1935) was one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th

century. The development of abstract algebra, which is one of the most distinctive

innovations of 20th century mathematics, can largely be traced back to her - in her

published papers, lectures and her personal influence on her contemporaries. By now

her contributions have become so thoroughly absorbed into our mathematical culture

that only rarely are they specifically attributed to her. This book presents an extensive

collection of her work. Albert Einstein wrote in a letter to the New York Times of May

1st, 1935: "In the judgment of the most competent living mathematicians, Fräulein

Noether was the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced

since the higher education of women began. In the realm of algebra, in which the

most gifted mathematicians have been busy for centuries, she discovered methods

which have proved of enormous importance in the development of the present-day

younger generation of mathematicians."
