The Biography of Emmy Noether

Albert Einstein realized his General Theory of Relativity-the foundation underlying our contemporary theory of gravity - only because it had been given a mathematical form by Emmy Noether. More grandiosely, it turns out that the eponymous theorem "stands today as what may be math's single most profound result in all of physics." Together with others like him (more on them soon) from another A-list elite race, their work was allowed to build the edifice of our currently-most-accurateauate-theory-evah-the-standard-model-of-particle-physics/story - trapping science into a stable theory. It is equally revealing as her physics is Noether's life story, which reminds us in the most dramatic way imaginable of the extent to which sexual prejudice was embedded into science, and how it prevented one of greatest minds in twentieth-century history from working on equal terms with men. Her personality and optimistic spirit- which Wanda Editz unveils so assiduously in this biography book allowed was for a very special genius to not just carry on, but to arrive at insight that continues today as breathtaking.
