Emmy Noether is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Founder of modern abstract algebra; Noether's theorem
Born to a Jewish family in Erlangen, Noether became one of the most important mathematicians in history and the founder of modern abstract algebra. Her Noether's theorem, linking symmetries to conservation laws, is foundational to modern physics. Barred from a regular professorship as a woman and later dismissed by the Nazis for being Jewish, she emigrated to the United States shortly before her death.
