Emmy Noether, 23 March 1882 – 14 April 1935, was an influential German mathematician known for her groundbreaking contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics. Described by Albert Einstein and others as the most important woman in the history of mathematics, she revolutionized the theories of rings, fields, and algebras. Her work on differential invariants in the calculus of variations, Noether’s theorem, has been called "one of the most important mathematical theorems ever proved in guiding the development of modern physics". She taught at University of Gottingen in Germany until removed by Hitler after WW-I. Then she and other Jewish colleagues moved to the US. Noether began teaching at Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania, where she remained until her death. She is buried at the cloister at Bryn Mawr.
