鲜为人知的女数学天才

The Mighty Mathematician You’ve Never Heard of

科学家是众所周知易被遗忘的一族，但像二十世纪的数学天才阿马莉·诺特这样不可思议被埋没者，却没有几人。阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦称她是历史上最具影响力和创造力的女数学家。而其他同时代者则喜欢将其性别修饰去掉。她发现的定理将物理学的两大支柱性概念（自然的对称性和普遍守恒定律）简明而有力地联系起来。

Scientists are a famously anonymous lot1, but few can match in the depths of her perverse2 andunmerited3 obscurity4 the 20th-century mathematical genius Amalie Noether.Albert Einstein called her the most significant and creative female mathematician of all time, and others of her contemporaries were inclined to drop the modification by sex.
