Emma Noether was a very iconic female mathematician who accomplished many significant things for women and math itself. This extraordinary woman was born on March 23rd, 1882 and reached her deathbed at the age of 53 on April 14th, 1935. Emma was born in Erlangen, Bavaria, Germany. She was born into a Jewish family, her father Max Noether was also a mathematician and her mother resided as a housewife. Emma was someone that when she put her mind to something, she would not stop until she achieved greatness. During this time women were not allowed to receive a high education and women were excluded from an academic position. At that time since she was unable to attend a regular college she took part in a finishing school where she specialized …show more content…
Although there were many historical world events that occurred in the lifetime of Emma Noether, two events stood out to me. In the year of 1929 the big stock market crash occurred which led to the Great Depression. This historical event affected many people all around the world. This major event started a 10 year Great Depression which resulted in affecting the whole western part of the country. Signs of the downfall of the market started in August of 1929, unemployment was starting to become more common, wages were at their all time low. Also people were investing in stocks even if they knew that they didn’t have enough money and a large amount of loans owed to banks that could not be shut down. The actual prices of the stocks started to diminish in late September and early October of 1929. On October 24th, known as Black Tuesday, over 12 million investments and trades were made in stocks.

She created the Noether Theorem in Physics which was the most significant contributions to modern day Physics. The theorem states for every differentiable regularity for every measure of the physical system has a correlation with conservation law. During the years of 1920-1926, she devoted her time to creating the theorem of mathematical rings. She developed the abstract approach to algebra,which led to several things putting together topology, logic, geometry, algebra and linear algebra. Her idea of mathematical rings impacted many mathematicians all around the nation. During this time Noether published two papers which would be the foundation of the mathematical ring theory, “Ideal theory in Ringbereichen,” and “Theory of Ideals in Ring Domains,” published in 1921. Her ideas to topology have had a great impact on mathematics. During the years of 1927-1935 non-commutative algebras, representation theory, hyper-complex numbers and linear transformations was now where she gave all her attention to. In the year of 1932 Noether earned the Ackermann-Teubner Memorial
... an excellent teacher who inspired all of her students, even if they were undergraduates, with her huge love for mathematics. Aware of the difficulties of women being mathematicians, seven women under her direction received doctorates at Bryn Mawr. Anna took her students to mathematical meetings oftenly. She also urged the women to participate on an equal professional level with men. She had great enthusiasm to teach all she knew about mathematics. She loved learning all she could about mathematics. Anna was a big contributor to mathematics. Anna was gifted in this department. She spent most of her life trying to achieve her accomplishments. She truly is a hero to women. She achieved all of these accomplishments when women mathematicians were very uncommon. She deserved all the awards and achievements she won. Judy Green and Jeanne Laduke, science historians, stated,
The stock market crash of 1929 is one of the main causes of the Great Depression. Before the stock market crash many people bought on margin, which caused the stock market to become very unbalanced, which led to the crash. Many people had invested heavily in the stock market during the 1920’s. All of these people who invested in the stock market lost all the money they had, since they relied on the stock market so much. The stock market crash also played a more physiological role in causing the Great depression. More businesses became aware of the difficulties, which caused businesses to not expand and start new projects. This caused job insecurity and uncertainty in incomes for employees. The crash was also used as a symbol of the changing times. The crash lead the American peop...
Julia Tutwiler was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in 1841. Julia was the third born of eleven children of Henry and Julia Tutwiler. Henry Tutwiler was the chair of ancient languages at the University of Alabama. Julia’s mother was the university business manager. Henry Tutwiler believed that women were the intellectual equals of men and should be educated as such. He sent his daughter to Philadelphia to a boarding school that was based on the French system of education and offered instruction in modern languages and culture as well as art and music. (Encyclopedia). The way Henry brought up Julia was as an educated intellectual equal. Thi...
When “Black Tuesday” struck Wall Street on October 29th, 1929 investors traded 16 million shares on the on the New York Stock Exchange in just a day which caused billions of dollars to be lost and thousands of investors who got all their money wiped out. After the fallout of “Black Tuesday” America’s industrialized country fell down into the Great Depression which was one of the longest economic downfalls in history of the Western industrialized world. On “Black Tuesday” stock prices dropped completely. After “Black Tuesday” stock prices couldn’t get any worse or so they thought but however prices continued to drop U.S fell into the Great Depression, and by 1932 stocks were only worth about 20 percent of their value. Due to this economic downfall by 1933 almost half of America’s banks had failed. This was a major economic fallout which resulted in the Great Depression because it caused the economy to lose a lot of money and there was no way to dig themselves out of the hole of
Frederick Lewis Allen’s book tells in great detail how the average American would have lived in the 1930’s. He covers everything from fashion to politics and everything in between. He opens with a portrait of American life on September 3, 1929, the day before the first major stock market crash. His telling of the events immediately preceding and following this crash, and the ensuing panic describe a scene which was unimaginable before.
Eleanor Roosevelt was a First Lady during the time of the Great Depression. She made huge differences in the lives of women, youth and minorities.
Could one women bring hope out of the Great Depression? Hope is what keeps people looking ahead and striving for new and better opportunities. The Great Depression was a time of despair and poverty in which people relied on hoped for a better life. One person who seemed to bring this hope to people was Eleanor Roosevelt. She was an activist, politician, diplomat, and first lady. The 1920s and 1930s brought a great despair from the Great Depression that made people searching for hope, which was inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt and even today she continues to bring hope.
...acknowledged as the greatest women mathematician of the 1900’s, even though she had to go through many obstacles and chauvinism. She was the first women to be accepted into a major college. She proved many of the stereotypes that women were considered to be erroneous, which in the long run also made her a famous person. She was the one who discovered the associative law, commutative law, and the distributive law. These are the Laws that make the basics for Algebra, Geometry, and Basic math. All together she has unquestionably earned the title as the most famous woman mathematician of the 1900’s.
Life in America during 1929 through the early 1940s was difficult. On October 29 1929 the stock market crashed and the Great Depression began. The Great Depression was known to be “the worst economic collapse in the history of the world” and began in the United States. More than fifteen million Americans became unemployed, which is one fourth of the working people. President Hoover underestimated the Depression and called it “a passing incident in our national lives” and told the Americans it would be over in sixty days. “An empty pocket turned inside out was called a ‘Hoover Flag.’” When Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president, he worked quickly to get rid of the Depression by passing the Emergency Banking Relief Act. Afterword, jobs for women and children grew, and people made habits of careful spending and saving. In 1930, fifty percent of blacks were unemployed. Their jobs had been taken away from them and given to whites. Eleanor Roosevelt set up the New Deal Programs and prohibited discrimination to solve the problem (“Great Depression”). Many women created what seems now like everyday things. New inventions had made lives easier in the twentieth century. The windshield wiper was invented by Mary Anderson. When she was traveling there was a blizzard and the trolley car driver repeatedly had to stop to wipe off the glas...
She had many struggles trying to receive higher education because of the restrictions women had when it came to furthering ones education. But after many attempts, she was able to study with the great German mathematician Karl Weierstrass. She worked with him for the next four years and then in 1874, received her doctorate. By this time, she had published numerous original papers in the field of higher mathematical analysis and applications to astronomy and physics. But despite all her attempts, and brilliance, she was still a woman in her time period, and therefore unable to find a job in academia. Weierstrass had tried helping her find a job because he was astonished with her abilities and intellectual capacity, but had no luck because after all, she was still a woman.
Beginning on Black Tuesday, October 29th, 1929, a total of 14 billion dollars was lost in America’s economy. Near the end of the week the 14 billion turned into a total of 30 billion dollars (The Great Depression Facts). Many events during the Stock Market Crash caused damage to the economy and lifestyle of the country, ending with recuperations from The Depression.
The stock market crash of 1929 was the primary event that led to the collapse of stability in the nation and ultimately paved the road to the Great Depression. The crash was a wide range of causes that varied throughout the prosperous times of the 1920’s. There were consumers buying on margin, too much faith in businesses and government, and most felt there were large expansions in the stock market. Because of all these positive views that the people of the American society possessed, people hardly looked at the crises in front of them.... ...
The black Tuesday, October 29th, 1929 has been identified as the symbol of the Great Depression. Stock holders lost 14 billion dollars on a single day trade, and more than 30 billion lose in that week, which was 10 times more than the annual budget of the Federal government.[ [documentary] 1929 Wall Street Stock Market Crash

Ada Lovelace was the daughter of famous poet at the time, Lord George Gordon Byron, and mother Anne Isabelle Milbanke, known as “the princess of parallelograms,” a mathematician. A few weeks after Ada Lovelace was born, her parents split. Her father left England and never returned. Women received inferior education that that of a man, but Isabelle Milbanke was more than able to give her daughter a superior education where she focused more on mathematics and science (Bellis). When Ada was 17, she was introduced to Mary Somerville, a Scottish astronomer and mathematician who’s party she heard Charles Babbage’s idea of the Analytic Engine, a new calculating engine (Toole). Charles Babbage, known as the father of computer invented the different calculators. Babbage became a mentor to Ada and helped her study advance math along with Augustus de Morgan, who was a professor at the University of London (Ada Lovelace Biography Mathematician, Computer Programmer (1815–1852)). In 1842, Charles Babbage presented in a seminar in Turin, his new developments on a new engine. Menabrea, an Italian, wrote a summary article of Babbage’s developments and published the article i...
