Emmy Noether: The Greatest Forgotten Mathematician in History 

Eyy I'm early! :D

Biographics have all the emperor’s been cover can we have a side channel of emperors from the first to the last

Can you make a video on Bal Thakre?

wow getting woke are we? of course a whaman is the greatest mathematician ;)

Einstein basically said she’s smart for a woman.

Check out the "Genius" series. There is a season on Einstein and Picasso. Extremely well made and researched and focuses more on their pereonal lives. I'd love her to get a season in this show

Miam Bialik could play her.

Or Danica McKellar who played Winnie in The Wonder Years.

ryan reynolds would portray her perfectly

Absolutely! 👍🏼

Yup. Greatness personified.

Einstein had a wife, that did all his calculations, including the moast famous one. So it is Einsteins, Mileva Marić Einstein's.

@Terra Novei I am refering to relativity formula, it is her's not his

@Terra Novei There were two people who were genious named Einstein (Einsteins), they were married. But it is Mileva's calculations of Albert's ideas.

Agreed. She really doesn't seem like the type person who cared whether the general public hallowed her name. The fact that Einstein publicly proclaimed her genius, and later went out of his way to secure a professor position for her at one of the USA's finest universities was surely more than enough for her modest ego.

It’s amazing how a good teacher can make any subject interesting

Awe what a wonderful way to immortalize Mrs. Tent! Thanks for sharing your story! 😁💜

@@ItsMeAnn628 BALANCED attraction and repulsion is fundamental regarding what is physics/physical experience, or there wouldn't be SPACE OR TIME. BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. What makes gravity, ON BALANCE, a constant force is that it cannot be shielded (or blocked). Gravity is ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy (in and WITH TIME) consistent WITH what is invisible AND VISIBLE SPACE in fundamental equilibrium AND BALANCE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE. SO, a photon IS at the center of WHAT IS the Sun; as this would then CLEARLY be consistent with the requirement of time AND SPACE. (Consider what is invisible AND VISIBLE SPACE in fundamental equilibrium AND BALANCE.) Carefully consider what is THE EARTH/ground ON BALANCE. Consider what is a TWO dimensional surface OR SPACE ON BALANCE !! Consider what is perpetual motion, AND consider TIME (AND time dilation) ON BALANCE. Consider what is THE EYE ON BALANCE. Notice what is the associated black “space” AND the dome AS WELL. NOW, carefully consider WHAT IS THE SUN (ON BALANCE); as TIME is NECESSARILY (AND CLEARLY) possible/potential AND actual (ON/IN BALANCE). CLEARLY, gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites ON BALANCE; as the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky (ON BALANCE). Consider TIME (AND time dilation) ON BALANCE. E=mc2 is taken directly from F=ma. Indeed, the ultimate mathematical unification (AND UNDERSTANDING) of physics/physical experience combines, BALANCES, AND INCLUDES opposites; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); as this CLEARLY explains F=ma AND E=mc2. AGAIN, consider what is TIME (AND time dilation) ON BALANCE !! Again, carefully consider WHAT IS THE MAN who IS standing on WHAT IS THE EARTH/ground ON BALANCE !! BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE is fundamental (ON BALANCE). By Frank DiMeglio

Ry Mo well, then put it in the dryer

@Ry MoIt's actually anti-brainwashing.

@@flatplant actually anyone in a university which is pure maths,knows about her theorems in module algebra,of course not everyone knows of her ,exactly how noone knows of hardy from number theory,or jordan from measure theory,this is not a sexism argument

That says more about your insufficient formal education than it does this channel because she is very well known. Try reading books, it's all there in the Library, this pompous jackass didn't invent this information.

John Smith. You seem like a pleasant person.

I often wonder about this, too. Not just in the 19th and 20th centuries, but all time. How many great mathematicians and scientists and doctors, etc, have been subjugated to slavery, conscription, or farming (not that farming is bad, but*) throughout the ages? * but throughout most of history, farming and transportation has not been nearly as efficient as it is now. Thus most people needed to be farmers. "Oi, Dennis, there's a lot of lovely filth down 'ere!"

I think it happens all over the world, all of the time. These days, with the internet, we see young men in Africa building machines to purify water, or young women in India creating something new. So many children could change the world if the wealthiest among us would dedicate themselves to improving things for the rest of us.

Going through all that she was happy as long as she could work on math, she was amazing, died too young.

calm your tities steve

@@hebrewwolf6540 😂😂😂😂

Ich bin auch aus Erlangen!

Wäre eher "I attended", visitierend sind Sie nur ein Besucher. ;)

Simon, thank you all!!! ✨

I know this is an old comment, but I've only just come across this video today and wanted to respond. While Emmy Noether faced challenged due to her sex in her own time, this video is a bit misleading in saying she's "forgotten." It's just that her work is much farther along in the "canon" of mathematics that most people never take a class in which you would encounter her work. But take even a bachelors degree in math and you'll become acquainted quite quickly, especially once you reach the realm of abstract algebra and topology. I'm not complaining though, more people need to know about many mathematicians who are only famous among mathematicians. Not sure if Simon has videos on these as well, but some other mathematicians tied up with WWII events in interesting ways are Felix Hausdorff and Alexander Grothendieck -- again, you'd learn their names in advanced math classes, but the general public wouldn't ever hear of them!

@Ricardo Cadet I'm a bit confused, do you mean to say that HP. Lovecraft was not a real person?

Let us remember HP Lovecraft was a racist and a sexist

Truth truth truth: "Emet, emet, emet." That's what this is about, folks.

@@professorsogol5824 love that chtulu tho

Okay, let's get things straight: H.P. Lovecraft is not even in the same dimension as Noethe. Noethe helped out Einstein, has an entire theorem in her name, and basically discovered abstract algebra. H.P. Lovecraft failed to describe any of the characters of his own making. Noethe faced head-on sexism and racism at every turn of her life. H.P. Lovecraft spewed racism and sexism at every turn of his life. People look at Noethe's work and are amazed. People look at H.P. Lovecraft's work and wonder how to make it more interesting and entertaining. The scientific community would be less without Noethe. The literary community would be unchanged without H.P. Lovecraft: Cthulu is nothing more than a novelty to spruce up otherwise uninteresting sci-fi movies; A Color Out of Space is just as vague as its villain; Re-Animator is just a pulpy take on Frankenstein.

Settle mate, tesla was the real genius. Einstein didn’t do anything different to alfred nobel, better off without what they found.

Black Weirdo i know. 3,6,9 dude. If you know, you know 🤟🏿

Black Weirdo close but no cigar, that would be 1,1,2,3 etc.

Black Weirdo all good brother, hey we all start somewhere man, don’t worry about the dyslexia either my guy, props for seeing it as a minor bump in the road and going for it anyways! Yes, 3,6,9 are very interesting numbers indeed. It is said amongst many, mathematics is a universal language. I tend to agree but alas, i know nothing. Have fun with it though dude and i would highly suggest exploring pi and prime numbers too 🙌🏿

Black Weirdo totally understand man, it is what it is but I’m glad you’ve found a way around it 👌🏿

John Doe jeebus, you edited this and still left this letter soup? Learn how to spell goddamit!

noth606 yeah whatever grammar nazi. I'll go be a productive member of society

@@MrMctastics at least spell the lady's name right. It's Noether.

Sophie Jones look at that, I missd an e. Two bad it's going to stay thr forvr.

Sophie Jones I commented a couple times on youtube and now I must pay the price of seeing a notification every few days about grammatical correctness, which I didn't even bother to think about. RU-vid is cancer. I've learned my lesson! Never commenting again!

Same here.

Same here.

If you're lucky you'll still have testicles when you're done; instead of just an empty sack of beta-male rationalizations :).

@@brownicusfutiv2175 good to hear from another anti-intellectual. Good job bro, keep it up

@@brownicusfutiv2175 Lol, WTF? He was just making a research..

@@95maferisturiz don't worry, it seems he can't get a woman, and I won't be surprised that he would blame women for his toxic behavior

The general public, i.e. the majority of people.

D4md Cykey Very few mathematicians are recognisable by the general public. Most people don’t even know that “mathematicians” are a professional category.

That’s a bit pedantic my good fellow

exactly

@@qubex Indeed, if 'known to the general public' is the standard, then every mathematician ever is 'forgotten', even such luminaries as Euler, Hilbert or Gauss.

You have great taste. :-)

Wasn't it non-abstract?

@@robertrichard6107 Hamilton quaternions are one example. A group ring made of non abelian rings, is another. if a ring is Noetherian, then it satisfies the descending chain condition on prime ideals.

Algebras that didn’t talk your ear off. You ask them questions, and they only answer in grunts and monosyllables.

"Non-commutative" just means a * b isn't necessarily the same as b * a. Abstract algebra doesn't necessarily involve numbers. This and Emmy Noether are about all I can tell you, 30 years after I last touched it. :(

I thought he made that clear, with some humility.

Noether's Theorem is one of the foundations of modern physics as a whole - she provided the framework for discovering and understanding conservation laws on a profoundly deep level. She should be recognized as one of the greatest geniuses humanity has ever produced - right up there with Newton, Einstein, Riemann, DaVinci, Feynman, Hawking, Lovelace, Curie, Von Neumann, Boltzmann, and other household names

Ty for this .

🤦‍♀️

Jaleesa Greene 🤣

boss bear97 RU-vid commenters wait for moments like this. I’m happy you were here to see it 🤣

Oqsy you’re the worst 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

It's fascinating how Maxwell found the connection between Ampere's Law, Coulomb's law, Gauss' Law, and was able to correct Ampere's Law in a very significant way in the process. I would love to hear a more in-depth exploration of the formulation of the Maxwell Equations!

@@mysticx0 And there are multiple videos and movies made about other videos Simon has made... So? There's always people that are still ignorant to the matter and would benefit by a Simon Whistler upload. Not to mention people like me who would watch it anyway, even though I already know about it.

What's interesting is he may not be directly familiar with her work, but he's seen and used the results of it! She was so instrumental in modern physics and maths.

Wow how much lucky u children would be to have a mom interested in astronomy

Marie Curie of course everyone has heard of. But what about Lise Meitner, Cecilia Payne, Annie Jump Cannon, Henrietta Swan Levitt ...

Quite often.

Very...

Too many. Including Einstein's wife.

How many men do you think have been forgotten? Probably a lot more.

solnegrolunaroja heh, Einstein himself is a self aggrandizing plagiarist more or less, of what people think he did, he did less than 5%. Of course he takes the glory for work done by everyone he can.
