Her father was a mathematics professor at the University of Erlangen and her mother was from a wealthy family. Emmy Noether studied arithmetic and languages but was not permitted as a girl to enroll in the college preparatory school, the gymnasium. Her graduation qualified her to teach French and English in girls' schools, apparently her career intention but then she changed her mind and decided she wanted to study mathematics at the university level. To enroll in a university, she had to get permission of the professors to take an entrance exam she did and she passed, after sitting in on mathematics lectures at the University of Erlangen. She was then allowed to audit courses first at the University of Erlangen and then the University of G

    Extractions: Look at this website on Rudolf Mehmke . Here is a rough (from altavista) translation of a paragraph from this web site: "Models, apparatuses, instruments: The conference of the German mathematician union (DMV) of the yearly 1892 took place in the autumn 1892 in Nuernberg following the conference of the society of German natural scientists and physicians. For this conference for the first time an exhibition of `models, apparatuses and instruments' was planned in the history of the DMV, for which Walther of Dyck of the technical university in Munich was responsible. The exhibition failed however 1892 because of the Choleragefahr, it took place however 1893 in Munich. In the introduction to the `catalog' Dyck referred to it: `he would like to think of the important aid, which the Mr. Boltzmann dedicated in Munich and Mehmke in Darmstadt on mathematical physics and on arithmetic relative departments haben' in the speciellen still. Indeed Mehmke had issued 18 own, even sketched and built objects and beschrieben." Should be able to find the above quote in Dyck's catalogue. Need to work on better translation.

    http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/germain.htm
    
    Extractions: Sophie Germain April 1, 1776 - June 27, 1831 Sophie Germain was born in an era of revolution. In the year of her birth, the American Revolution began. Thirteen years later the French Revolution began in her own country. In many ways Sophie embodied the spirit of revolution into which she was born. She was a middle class female who went against the wishes of her family and the social prejudices of the time to become a highly recognized mathematician. Like the member of a revolution, her life was full of perseverance and hard work. It took a long time for her to be recognized and appreciated for her contributions to the field of mathematics, but she did not give up. Even today, it is felt that she was never given as much credit as she was due for the contributions she made in number theory and mathematical physics because she was a woman. Sophie Germain was born in Paris on April 1, 1776 to Ambroise-Francois and Marie Germain. Her family was quite wealthy. Her father was a merchant and later became a director of the Bank of France. Sophie's interest in mathematics began during the French Revolution when she was 13 years old and confined to her home due to the danger caused by revolts in Paris. She spent a great deal of time in her father's library, and one day she ran across a book in which the legend of Archimede's death was recounted. Legend has it that "during the invasion of his city by the Romans Archimedes was so engrossed in the study of a geometric figure in the sand that he failed to respond to the questioning of a Roman soldier. As a result he was speared to death" (Perl 64). This sparked Sophie's interest. If someone could be so engrossed in a problem as to ignore a soldier and then die for it, the subject must be interesting! Thus she began her study of mathematics.

66. History Of Algebra
    Work continued through the 18th century on the theory of equations, but not until1799 was the proof published, by the german mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss  
    http://www.algebra.com/algebra/about/history/
    
    Extractions: Word Problems Solve and practice cracking word problems. The history of algebra began in ancient Egypt and Babylon, where people learned to solve linear ( ax b ) and quadratic ( ax bx c ) equations, as well as indeterminate equations such as x y z , whereby several unknowns are involved. The ancient Babylonians solved arbitrary quadratic equations by essentially the same procedures taught today. They also could solve some indeterminate equations. The Alexandrian mathematicians Hero of Alexandria and Diophantus continued the traditions of Egypt and Babylon, but Diophantus's book Arithmetica is on a much higher level and gives many surprising solutions to difficult indeterminate equations. This ancient knowledge of solutions of equations in turn found a home early in the Islamic world, where it was known as the "science of restoration and balancing."

    Extractions: web hosting domain names email addresses THEY SAY. WHAT THEY SAY, LET THEM SAY One of the most formative books of my life is Men of Mathematics , by Scot-American mathematician, Eric Temple Bell (1883-1960), which I read in its first year of publication when I was 17. It changed my thinking and played a role in my becoming a mathematician. Before the book itself begins, a page reads what I have in the title, "THEY SAY. WHAT THEY SAY, LET THEM SAY (Motto of Marischal College, Aberdeen)." This was Bell's college in Scotland. Bell's science fiction was published under the name, "John Taine". After stating this motto, Bell lists several sayings, of which I select a few. "A mathematician who is not also something of a poet will never be a complete mathematician.", Karl Weirstrass (1815-97), great German mathematician. "Mathematics is Queen of the Sciences, and Arithmetic is the Queen of Mathematics.", Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855), great German mathematician.

69. Fractal Geometry
    until 1919, however, when the german mathematician Felix Hausdorff put forward theidea in connection with the smallscale structure of mathematical shapes.  
    http://www.crystalinks.com/fractal.html
    
    Extractions: Reality is based on the patterns of sacred geometry which repeat in endless cycles. A fractal is a geometrical shape or pattern made up of identical parts, which are in turn identical to the overall pattern. The term "fractal" was coined by Benoit Mandelbrot about 1975 to describe a complex geometrical object that has a high degree of "self-similarity" and a fractional dimension that exceeds the normal, or "topological", dimension ( "D" ) for that type of object. The basic unit of the Koch snowflake , first constructed by the mathematician Helge von Koch (1870-1924), is the equilatorial triangle which can be built up into a much larger but still similar pattern. Any part of the snowflake is equally crinkly, whatever scale it is viewed at. Some of the most remarkable fractals are the Julia sets, devised by the French mathematician Gaston Julia (1893-1978). The Julia Sets are generated by applying an iterative non-linear process based on a very simple square-law function. F(z,C) = z2 + C where z is a point on the X-Y plane and C is a constant with both x and y components, Cx and Cy. The results were very surprising. No one expected that such a simple function could produce such complex images and be so difficult to analyze.

WELLESLEY COLLEGE MATH CLASS From ancient times, mathematicians had studied regular solids like the tetrahedron, the cube, and the octahedron. In the 1850s, the Swiss mathematician Ludwig Schläfli described the six regular figures, or polytopes, that can exist in four-dimensional space. In 1880, W. I. Stringham, a fellow at Johns Hopkins University, wrote his Ph.D. dissertation on these figures. A few years later, the German mathematician and model maker Ludwig Brill published models of projections of polytopes.
