Abstract

Emmy Noether was considered as the most important woman in the history of mathematics by, among others, Pavel Alexandrov, Herman Weyl, Nobert Wiener and Albert Einstein. She simply changed the face of modern algebra, revolutionizing the theory of rings, fields and algebras. Her contribution to physics has been considered by many as one of the most important in guiding the development of modern physics.
