lled the Noether's Theorem, which proves a relationshipbetween symmetries in physics and conservation principles. This basic result in thegeneral theory of relativity was praised by Einstein, where he commended Noether on herachievement.During the 1920s Noether did foundational work on abstract algebra, working ingroup theory, ring theory, group representations, and number theory. During the time thatshe was a teacher, Germany was involved in WWI and WWII. Because of the war, andsince Noether was a Jew, she was forced out of Germany and went to live in the UnitedStates ( Emmy Noether, no date).While in the United States, Noether taught at an all girls college. Her studentsloved her and many followed her teachings. Some say that they way she taught wasphenomenal. She was clear and used many different methods of teaching so that herstudents could understand math easier. She was praised by Einstein constantly on hertheory of relativity. Albert Einstein paid her a great tribute in 1935: "In the judgement ofthe most competent living mathematicians, (Emmy) Noether was the most significantcreative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of womenbegan." Throughout her career she worked with many mathematicians such as EmanuelLasker, Bartel van der Waerden, Helmut Hasse and Richard Brauer. Twice Noether wasinvited to address the International Mathematical Congress (1928, 1932). In 1932 shereceived the Alfred Ackermann-Teubner Memorial Prize for the Advancement ofMathematical Knowledge. It is said that her greatest work was that of abstract algebra(Taylor, 1995).Ruth MoufangJanuary 10, 1905-November 26, 1977Like the Nazis refused Emmy Noether the right to teach, Ruth Moufang was alsodenied the right. Because of this, Ruth Moufang decided to enter the field of industrialmathematics, and work on the elasticity theory. She was the first German woman to havea doctorate in this field. Ruth Moufang published o...
