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
