Product Description
This book, written primarily for the young adult reader, tells the life story of Emmy Noether, the most important female mathematician of our time. Because no one expected her to grow into an important scientist, the records of her early life are sketchy. After all, it was assumed that she would grow up to be a wife and mother. Instead, she was a genius who chose a distinctive path. The author has woven this charming story of Emmy Noether’s life around the events that appear in the oral and written records, fleshing out the story with details about life in Germany at the time and what we know about how bright children explore mathematics. ...

A nice book for the younger reader
This is a fictionalized account of the life of Emy Noether, one of the most famous and influential women mathematicians of all time. It focuses very much on Noether, rather than her mathematics, but it does portray the mathematical environment in which she worked. It is a nice book and the author's affection for Noether shines through clearly. It is well researched and written in a very pleasant style. Destined for the younger reader, it is quite short, and I fear that the more interested reader, however young, will regret the lack of detail. It has a glossary and a good index, but regretfully it doesn't provide a list of references for further details of Noether, her work and her life. ... Read more

Product Description

A beautiful piece of mathematics, Noether's Theorem touches on every aspect of physics. Emmy Noether proved her theorem in 1915 and published it in 1918. This profound concept demonstrates the connection between conservation laws and symmetries. For instance, the theorem shows that a system invariant under translations of time, space, or rotation will obey the laws of conservation of energy, linear momentum, or angular momentum, respectively. This exciting result offers a rich unifying principle for all of physics.

Dwight E. Neuenschwander's introduction to the theorem's genesis, applications, and consequences artfully unpacks its universal importance and unsurpassed elegance. Drawing from over thirty years of teaching the subject, Neuenschwander uses mechanics, optics,geometry, and field theory to point the way to a deep understanding of Noether's Theorem. The three sections provide a step-by-step, simple approach to the less-complex concepts surrounding the theorem, in turn instilling the knowledge and confidence needed to grasp the full wonder it encompasses. Illustrations and worked examples throughout each chapter serve as signposts on the way to this apex of physics.

Noether's Theorem is an essential principle of post-introductory physics. This handy guide includes end-of-chapter questions for review and appendixes detailing key related physics concepts for further study.

Product Description

In 1915 and 1916 Emmy Noether was asked by Felix Klein and David Hilbert to assist them in understanding issues involved in any attempt to formulate a general theory of relativity, in particular the new ideas of Einstein. She was consulted particularly over the difficult issue of the form a law of conservation of energy could take in the new theory, and she succeeded brilliantly, finding two deep theorems.

But between 1916 and 1950, the theorem was poorly understood and Noether's name disappeared almost entirely. People like Klein and Einstein did little more then mention her name in the various popular or historical accounts they wrote. Worse, earlier attempts which had been eclipsed by Noether's achievements were remembered, and sometimes figure in quick historical accounts of the time.

This book carries a translation of Noether's original paper into English, and then describes the strange history of its reception and the responses to her work. Ultimately the theorems became decisive in a shift from basing fundamental physics on conservations laws to basing it on symmetries, or at the very least, in thoroughly explaining the connection between these two families of ideas. The real significance of this book is that it shows very clearly how long it took before mathematicians and physicists began to recognize the seminal importance of Noether's results. This book is thoroughly researched and provides careful documentation of the textbook literature. Kosmann-Schwarzbach has thus thrown considerable light on this slow dance in which the mathematical tools necessary to study symmetry properties and conservation laws were apparently provided long before the orchestra arrives and the party begins.

Product Description
This biography of a famous woman mathematician named Emmy Noether, who lived long ago, will inspire children's attention toward mathematics! It shows that math isn't just for boys! Girls can achieve mathematical greatness as well! Many girls do not believe this fact.

Overpriced and not very good
The title and subject made this seem an ideal book for my niece.
The author did a terrible job of presenting the material.There is almost no discussion of what Emmy Noether accomplished, and it ends up being more of a travel story than one about a great scientist and mathematician. The illustrations are very, very poorly done.And to add insult to injury, the price of the book is ridiculous for a paperback.There is as much reference to math on the cover as in the book.The author should rewrite the book, redo the illustrations, and send anyone that bought the book a free copy!
The current title should be, "Emmy Noether, a Woman that deserves more than this poorly written book". ... Read more

Extrait : Amalie Emmy Noether (23 mars 1882 - 14 avril 1935) était une mathématicienne allemande connue pour ses contributions révolutionnaires en algèbre abstraite et physique théorique. Décrite par Albert Einstein et d'autres comme la femme la plus importante de l'Histoire des mathématiques, elle a révolutionné les théories des anneaux, des corps et des algèbres. En physique, le théorème de Noether explique le lien fondamental entre la symétrie et les lois de conservation. Elle naît dans une famille juive d'Erlangen, en Bavière. Son père est le mathématicien Max Noether. Emmy envisage d'abord d'enseigner le français et l'anglais après avoir passé les examens requis, mais étudie finalement les mathématiques à l'université d'Erlangen où son père donne des conférences. Après avoir achevé sa thèse en 1907 sous la direction de Paul Gordan, elle travaille bénévolement à l'Institut de Mathématiques d'Erlangen pendant sept ans. En 1915, elle est invitée par David Hilbert et Felix Klein à rejoindre le très renommé département de mathématiques de l'université de Göttingen. Cependant, en raison de l'opposition de la faculté de philosophie, elle doit pendant quatre ans donner des cours sous le nom de Hilbert. Son habilitation est obtenue en 1919, elle acquiert le titre de privatdozent. Noether reste un des membres les plus influents du département de mathématiques de Göttingen jusqu'en 1933.
