During the summer of 1934, Noether visited Göttingen to arrange shipment of her possessions to the United States. When she returned to Bryn Mawr in the early fall, she had received a two-year renewal on her teaching grant. In the spring of 1935, Noether underwent surgery to remove a uterine tumor. The operation was a success, but four days later, she suddenly developed a very high fever and lost consciousness. She died on April 14th, apparently from a post-operative infection. Her ashes were buried near the library on the Bryn Mawr campus.

Emmy Noether's results were mainly in the area of algebraic structure. Einstein (above) gives some broad ideas on the potential outcome of a knowledge of these structures. More specifically, today, a knowledge of these structures gives insight into the optimal way in which computers may be designed, computation can be performed and how data can be optimally stored.

Emmy helped to alter the face of algebra. She is best known for her contributions to a part of algebra called abstract algebra. Abstract algebra is completely different from the early algebra of equation solving, as it deals with the formal properties of equations, such as associativity, commutativity and distributivity properties (ed. Gillispie 1970 p.138).

An Emmy-Noether research group headed by Dr. Knud Jahnke and funded by the German Science Foundation DFG is currently being built up at MPIA. The leading topic of the 5 year research plan (09/2007-08/2012) is the Coevolution of Galactic Bulges and Black Holes.

Noether's childhood was unexceptional, going to school, learning domestic skills, and taking piano lessons. Since girls were not eligible to enroll in the gymnasium (college preparatory school), she attended the Städtischen Höheren Töchterschule, where she studied arithmetic and languages. In 1900 she passed the Bavarian state examinations with evaluations of "very good" in French and English (she received only a "satisfactory" evaluation in practical classroom conduct); this certified her to teach foreign languages at female educational institutions.
