In the early 1900s, mathematician Emmy Noether came up with a theorem to help resolve some problems with Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity. Little did she know it would change physics ...

Einstein referred to her as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. Her theorem has been recognized as “one of the most important mathematical theorems ever proved in guiding the ...

Flawed conservation laws are consequences of a much deeper principle: Noether’s theorem. Conservation laws are among the most important tools in physics. They feel as fundamental as you can get. And ...

This year is the centennial of Noether’s theorem, which is often called the most beautiful result in mathematical physics. Developed by Amalie Emmy Noether (1882-1935), the theorem resolves questions ...

Einstein referred to her as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. Her theorem has been recognized as “one of the most important mathematical theorems ever proved in guiding the ...

Emmy Noether was a mathematician who discovered perhaps the most profound idea in contemporary physics. Noether’s theorem, which she formulated in 1915, says that symmetries in the universe give rise ...

Noether’s theorem is a fundamental result in physics stating that every symmetry of the dynamics implies a conservation law. It is, however, deficient in several respects: for one, it is not ...

WE PHYSICISTS have a habit of depicting our discipline as “beautiful” or “elegant”, where an outsider might be forgiven for seeing no more than an endless morass of equations. In an ideal world, those ...

Among the most creative and original mathematical thinkers – explanations of her work are virtually incomprehensible to us mortals, who communicate in words rather than symbols – Amalie “Emmy” Noether ...
