Emmy Noether. Mathématicienne d’exception

This booklet, designed following an exhibition organised by the Institut Henry Poincaré in its library in 2023, aims to introduce to the general public to the prolific work of the pioneering female mathematician Emmy Noether. It traces the major moments in the life of this exceptional woman, from her birth on 23 March 1882 into a Jewish family in Erlangen, Bavaria, to her death from postoperative complications on 14 April 1935 in Pennsylvania, where she had recently taken up residence following the enactment by Hitler's government of a law excluding Jews from academic posts.
