A Founding Mother of Mathematics: Emmy Noether

In this thesis we look into Emmy Noether\u27s life and works. An overview of Emmy Noether\u27s life gives context to understanding her approach to mathematics which produced seminal works. In Invariante Varationsprobleme, Noether proved the connection between symmetry and conservation laws; Noether\u27s theorem is the foundations of modern physics. In Idealtheorie in Ringberichen, she proved the ascending chain condition on ideals in an abstract setting; this work started the algebrization of mathematics in 20th century. Noether continued to produce phenomenal works and influenced numerous branches of mathematics. By understanding Emmy Noether\u27s life and her works, one achieves a greater understanding to the foundations of 20th century mathematics
