Emmy Noether was a German Jewish
mathematician known for her landmark
contributions to abstract algebra and
theoretical physics.
Emmy also made a German textbook on
graduate abstract algebra called Moderne
Algebra.

Abstract algebra is the set of advanced topics
of algebra that deal with abstract algebraic
structures rather than the usual number
systems. The most important of these structures
are groups, rings, and fields.

Theoretical physics is a branch of physics which
employs mathematical models and
abstractions of physical objects and systems to
rationalize, explain and predict natural
phenomena.

She was offered a position at the University of
Gottingen, but the faculty of the philosophy
department objected to a female lecturer.
She spent the next four years researching and
teaching under the name of one of the men
who invited her to the university, David Hilbert.
