Produktbeschreibung

This volume contains the proceedings of a Symposium held in honor of Emmy Noether's lOOth birthday which was sponsored by the Association for Women in Mathematics, and held at Bryn Mawr College on March 17, 18 and 19, 1982. It was fitting that the Symposium be held at Bryn Mawr, where Noether held her last position. Indeed, the lectures were held in Goodhart Hall, where the famous Memorial Address was delivered by Hermann Weyl on April 29, 1935. The Association for Women in Mathematics is honored to have sponsored this event, which was judged by many of those attending to have been not only scien tifically successful but a specially moving occasion. There were nine scientific lectures by Nathan Jacobson, Richard Swan, Judith Sally, David Mumford, Michele Vergne, Olga Taussky-Todd, Karen Uhlenbeck, Walter Feit, and Armand Borel. There was also a panel discussion on "Emmy Noether in Erlangen, Gottingen, and Bryn Mawr" in which Gottfried Noether, Olga Taussky-Todd, Grace Quinn, RuthMcKee, and Marguerite Lehr par ticipated. The last four were at Bryn Mawr during Emmy Noether's time and presented their personal reminiscences of her. Gottfried Noether is a nephew of Emmy Noether and gave an account of her life and career in Germany.
