Emmy Noether
Meet the greatest mathematician of the 20th century – if Einstein says so, we’re not about to disagree!
Emmy fought multiple prejudices all her life – she was a woman, she was Jewish and she came from a left-wing family. All in early 20th century Germany . . .
And yet, her pioneering work in abstract algebra and her proofs of Einstein's theory of relativity still stand today and are the basis of so much of our modern world.
