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 ...

Noether's theorem is a thread woven into the fabric of the science. We are able to understand the world because it is predictable. If we drop a rubber ball, it falls down rather than flying up. But ...

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 ...

The first of two Perimeter Institute public lectures this week. Emmy Noether was a giant of mathematics, whose work tied together two fundamental concepts: conservation laws and symmetries in nature.

When news breaks, you need to understand what actually matters — and what to do about it. At Vox, our mission to help you make sense of the world has never been more vital. But we can’t do it on our ...

The year 1915 was a big moment for physics. That was when Albert Einstein published his general theory of relativity, one of the most transformative ideas about the universe ever formulated. And that ...

Emmy Noether was praised by Einstein for her work in mathematical physics. Like Einstein, she fled Nazi Germany for the U.S.. A play about her life, "Diving into Math with Emmy Noether," will be ...

Albert Einstein is a household name. Emmy Noether? Never heard of her. Amalie Emmy Noether, born on this day in 1882, has been called a “creative mathematical genius.” She battled sexism throughout ...
