Наставница Эйнштейна: Как Эмми Нётер изобрела современную физику

Ėmmi Nëter rodilasʹ v semʹe matematikov i s detstva byla ocharovana naukoĭ. Vopreki vsemu, ona stala uchenoĭ i dobilasʹ nevidannykh vysot v svoeĭ professii. Ee ne volnovali predrassudki i diskriminat͡sii͡a, s kotoroĭ ona stalkivalasʹ na proti͡azhenii vseĭ zhizni, buduchi zhenshchinoĭ i evreĭkoĭ, - strastʹ k nauke zatmevala vse ostalʹnoe. Kogda Alʹbert Ėĭnshteĭn priekhal v Gëttingenskiĭ universitet, imenno Ėmmi Nëter provela ego v mir abstraktnoĭ algebry, bez kotoroĭ byla by nevozmozhna znamenitai͡a teorii͡a otnositelʹnosti. V svoeĭ teoreme ona izi͡ashchno dokazala fundamentalʹnui͡u svi͡azʹ mezhdu simmetrieĭ i zakonom sokhranenii͡a. Ėta kniga - gimn stoĭkosti i genii͡u Nëter, kotorye vdokhnovli͡ai͡ut zhenshchin v nauke stoletie spusti͡a. "Ėmmi Nëter posvi͡atila zhiznʹ izuchenii͡u chistoĭ matematiki, khoti͡a eĭ prishlosʹ stolknutʹsi͡a s ri͡adom zhestokikh nespravedlivosteĭ, voznikshikh lishʹ po odnoĭ prichine - ona byla zhenshchinoĭ. Ona khotela izuchatʹ matematiku v universitete, no zhenshchinam ne pozvoli͡alosʹ tuda postupatʹ. Ona otpravilasʹ rabotatʹ v universitet po priglashenii͡u velichaĭshego matematika mira - no ne poluchila mesta v shtate ili kakoĭ-libo platy. Ona stala odnoĭ iz pervykh zhertv nat͡sistskikh chistok sotrudnikov universitetov, poskolʹku byla odnovremenno i zhenshchinoĭ, i evreĭkoĭ. Esli by vek spusti͡a my kakim-to obrazom smogli razlichitʹ golos Nëter, to ne uslyshali by zhalobnykh setovaniĭ. Vmesto ėtogo my by uslyshali gromkiĭ smekh, kotoryĭ tak chasto opisyvali ee sootechestvenniki" (Li Fillips).

Emmy Noether was born into a family of mathematicians and has been fascinated by science since childhood. Despite everything, she became a scientist and achieved unprecedented heights in her profession. She didn't care about the prejudice and discrimination she faced throughout her life as a woman and a Jew—her passion for science overshadowed everything else. When Albert Einstein arrived at the University of Göttingen, it was Emmy Noether who led him into the world of abstract algebra, without which the famous theory of relativity would have been impossible. In her theorem, she elegantly proved the fundamental connection between symmetry and the conservation law. This book is a hymn to Noether's resilience and genius, which inspire women in science a century later. "Emmy Noether devoted her life to the study of pure mathematics, although she had to face a number of cruel injustices that arose for only one reason — she was a woman. She wanted to study mathematics at university, but women were not allowed to go there. She went to work at the university at the invitation of the world's greatest mathematician — but did not get a place on the staff or any pay. She became one of the first victims of the Nazi purges of university staff, as she was both a woman and a Jew. If, a century later, we had somehow been able to distinguish Noether's voice, we would not have heard the plaintive lamentations. Instead, we would have heard the loud laughter that her compatriots so often described." (Lee Phillips)
