KWIM Lecture Series Calendar Detailseite

Speaker:
Dr. Sebastian Krapp (University of Kontanz)

This event is part of an event series „Konstanz Women in Mathematics“.

In 1922, Emmy Noether (1882-1935) was the first woman in Germany to become a professor in mathematics. While she is best known for her seminal works in the mathematical discipline of abstract algebra, her much celebrated achievement, now known as Noether's Theorem, is set in the intersection of mathematics and physics. This talk presents the life and accomplishments of Emmy Noether with an emphasis on her ground-breaking achievements in abstract algebra and theoretical physics.
