Emmy Noether, a renowned mathematician, made groundbreaking contributions to theoretical physics in 1918 with her paper "Invariante Variationsprobleme." In this paper, she proved two theorems and their converses, which had a profound impact on the field. These theorems revolutionized the way we understand variational problems and paved the way for new developments in physics.
Over the past 100 years, Noether's theorems have been generalized and applied in various physical contexts. The scope of their applications has expanded significantly, ranging from classical mechanics to quantum field theory and beyond. This centenary volume aims to celebrate the legacy of Emmy Noether and provide a comprehensive understanding of her work.
The book brings together a diverse group of experts, including historians, philosophers, physicists, and mathematicians, who have contributed to the study of Noether's theorems. Their insights and perspectives help clarify the historical context of her work, its foundational and philosophical consequences, and its myriad physical applications.
Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as professional researchers, this volume is a valuable resource for anyone wishing to delve deeper into Noether's work on variational problems and the profound impact it has had on contemporary physics. It provides a comprehensive overview of her contributions and serves as a gateway to further exploration of this important area of mathematics.
In conclusion, Emmy Noether's theorems on variational problems have had a lasting impact on theoretical physics. This centenary volume celebrates her legacy and provides a comprehensive understanding of her work. It serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the mathematics and physics of this remarkable scientist.
