Amalie, commonly referred to as Emmy, was a German mathematician. Her contributions to algebra have gained her recognition as “the most creative abstract algebraist of modern times” (Encyclopædia Britannica). Noether received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Erlangen in 1907 with a dissertation on algebraic invariants. Shortly after she was invited the University of Göttingen in 1915 by David Hilbert and Felix Klein, Noether used her knowledge of invariants to assist them in exploring the mathematics that Albert Einstein used in his theory of general relativity. Once they had finished, Hilbert and Klein convinced Noether to remain at Göttingen where she taught under Hilbert’s name. In 1918, Noether discovered what is now known as Noether’s
