Amalie Emmy Noether was a renowned German mathematician born in 1882 who made seminal contributions to abstract algebra, including Noether's Theorem relating symmetries to conservation laws. She received her PhD from the University of Erlangen and later lectured at Bryn Mawr College. Noether developed the theory of ideals and rings that formed the basis of modern algebra. She received the Ackermann-Teubner Memorial Prize in Mathematics in 1932 and delivered a plenary address at the International Congress of Mathematicians that same year.
