March 27th, 2016: Emmy Noether
Do you remember Margret Hamilton and Elizebeth Friedman? Here I go again.
Amalie Emmy Noether was born in 1882 in Erlangen, Germany. Her Father, Max Noether, a math professor at the University of Erlangen. Quote:
Most do research, trying to figure out some new stuff, becoming one of the smart guys. In a short time she came up with her own new stuff in algebra, which impressed some people. But there’s that niggling little matter of food and shelter. Quote:
But she was not only a woman, she was a Jew, so when Hitler took over in 1932, she got the hell out of Dodge, to teach at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. She died in 1935 after surgery… probably a German Doctor. Mathematicians and Physicists made great strides based on her work, Chen Ning Yanng, Robert Mills, Murray Gell-Mann and the famous Peter Higgs. Albert Einstein wrote; Quote:

As a maths guy I have been aware of her since my student days, before and at university. From a book of maths biographies I seem to remember, that, when at the blackboard she wrote with her right hand and wiped out with her left what she had written moments before, so she always had free space to write.- Must have kept her students on their toes.

To be fair to old Albert, he didn't say the most significant female mathematical genius - he timelined it to the beginning of women being allowed to participate in higher education - and considered her the most significant mathematical genius to arise in the field since that change.
