Emmy Noether, die Noether-Schule und die moderne Algebra

Emmy Noether and the members of the Noether School significantly shaped the cultural movement of modern algebra, which transformed ideas about mathematics in the 1920s and led to a new understanding of mathematics as a structural science. In interdisciplinary studies, the author connects biographical research on Noether and the members of the Noether School with theoretical investigations of mathematical texts, as well as an analysis of the formation of scientific schools derived from the concept of dense description: The emergence of mathematical knowledge as a sociocultural process becomes visible and accessible to readers without a formal mathematical education. Numerous details are provided about the struggles of female scientists for professional recognition, the development of mathematical terms and disciplines, as well as insights into their lives and work.
