Emmy Noether (1882 - 1935) was a German mathematician, and is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century. 

She is known not only for Noether's theorems, which are incredibly important to modern physics, but also for her immense contributions in abstract algebra.

Inspired by Emmy Noether, we aim to promote female and non-binary students studying mathematical sciences at the University of Cambridge. 

We host talks from female and non-binary mathematicians, and informal events for students and academics (find out more here). Whilst the Emmy Noether Society aims to celebrate and support female and non-binary mathematicians, our events are open to everyone, regardless of gender or subject.
