Emmy Noether
My methods are really methods of working and thinking;
this is why they have crept in everywhere anonymously.
No matter how hard we try
energy cannot be created or destroyed
Noether’s abstract algebra
still radiating insights to this day
Noether’s theorem states:
every differentiable symmetry has
a corresponding conservation law
her mastery incandescent but
no salary until she reached forty
equal but unequal to some
Her numerical and brilliant fingerprints
etched into so many branches
Noetherian: group/induction/problem
ring/module/space/scheme
The mathematics a foundation
for the standard model of physics
changed the face of algebra
absolute beyond comparison
Laws of physics remain the same
as we move around the universe
but for Noether they bend more deeply
as her legacy consistently increases
