Description

“Throughout this book there is discussion of a great variety of mathematical topics … . David Rowe is to be congratulated on the production of this fine book. He provides a vivid presentation of Emmy Noether as a warmly magnanimous person and gives an exact account of her achievements in the context of early twentieth century mathematics.” (P. N. Ruane, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 107 (570), November, 2023)

“The text is carefully written and dotted with references to and direct quotations from original sources … . I strongly recommend this book to everyone who is interested in Emmy Noether or the history of mathematics in general. It does an excellent job at what it sets out to do, namely, provide a full picture of Emmy Noether’s mathematics in its historical context. Certainly it would also serve well as a textbook for a lecture on the matter.” (Alexander Bors, SIAM Review, Vol. 65 (3), 2023)

“Rowe's book is not only a further work on Noether's life and mathematical achievements but a much more comprehensive and more detailed one than its predecessors.” (Karl-Heinz Schlote, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2022)

“This book presents the most comprehensive to date view of the life of Emmy Noether … . It also collects numerous complimentary opinions about Noether’s research and publications … . this book well enhances its coverage by presenting a broad spectrum … . The book is well written, enhanced by a good number of rare photographs, and is a valuable contribution to a better understanding of an important period in the life of mathematics and her daughter Emmy Noether.” (Alexander Soifer, zbMATH 1473.01005, 2021)

“Emmy Noether Mathematician Extraordinaire is a wonderful mathematical biography of Emmy Noether which provides the reader with an interesting overview of her life, mathematical contributions, and perseverance over discrimination. A reader desiring specific details about how Emmy Noether earned her title of the mother of Abstract Algebra, along with the fascinating biographical details, would benefit from reading this book.” (Cynthia J. Huffman, MAA Reviews, July 4, 2021)
