Emmy Noether
Noether's theorem linking symmetry and conservation laws
Most quoted
"The development of abstract algebra, which is one of the most characteristic features of mathematics today, is the inevitable outcome of the historical evolution of our science."
— from Attributed from lectures
"My work is not about finding solutions to specific problems, but about developing general theories that can be applied to many problems."
"For all that, I should like to thank the founder of the theory, Herr Dedekind; his trend of thought has affected the above developments."
— from Paper: 'Abstrakter Aufbau der Idealtheorie in algebraischen Zahl- und Funktionenkörpern', 1927
All quotes by Emmy Noether (640)
Frobenius reciprocity links induction and restriction.
Physics without math is philosophy; with it, science.
The ascending chain stabilizes in Noetherian spaces.
In illness, I ponder eternity's equations.
Tensor products weave modules together.
Göttingen was my intellectual home.
Gauge symmetries birth charge conservation.
Wisdom is knowing when to abstract.
The annihilator ideal dualizes subspaces.
My boys, keep pushing the boundaries.
Commutative algebra bridges number theory and geometry.
Life's invariants: love, work, discovery.
The support of a module reveals its primes.
Einstein praised my work; that suffices.
Differentiable manifolds carry symmetry groups.
Jokes in lectures? Only if they prove something.
Hilbert's Nullstellensatz owes to my ideals.
The struggle was worth every theorem.
Exact sequences capture homological data.
In math, every problem has a solution; find it.
