Decent Essays
The word honor means to have a high respect, or esteem. To me, I think honor means to be able to look up to someone, to have respect towards them. Amalie Emmy Noether was born in Bavaria, Germany on March 23, 1882. As a child, she loved to cook, and play clavier. She was also specialized in French and English. She died on April 14, 1935, when she was 53 years of age. Emmy was honored because she was a mathematician, which was a very difficult task for the women in the 1900’s. For 7 years she worked at the Mathematical Institute of Erlangen without pay.

Noether published many papers while she was at the Mathematical Institute of Erlangen. She collaborated with algebraist, Ernst Otto Fischer when she began her research on theoretical algebra. Felix Klein and David Hilbert teamed up with Emmy to work on Einstein’s general relativity theory. Noether was only passionate about mathematics, so she never married.

She died because of post-operation
