Emmy Noether was a German mathematician best known for discovering the Noether Theorem. Born to a mathematician father, Emmy was interested in mathematics from an early age and also exhibited acumen in the field. However, she was expected to pursue arts which were more suited for women at that time. Her interests led her to enrol at the University of Erlangen, where her father was already a faculty member. She was hired without a pay or title as a professor. She moved to the faculty of the University of Gottingen after one of her fellow mathematicians insisted on the same. Following support from some other mathematicians she began working on the Noether’s Theorem, which is now known as one of the most important concepts in understanding the symmetry in the universe. Despite a worldwide appreciation for her work, she still remained an unpaid lecturer at the university. In spite of facing several professional and personal difficulties, she worked on abstract algebra and emerged as a pioneer in the subject. After the rise of Nazi Germany, she moved to the United States and taught mathematics there until the end of her life.
