In Memory of Emmy Noether

P. S. Alexandrov

A chapter in Emmy Noether 1882–1935, 1981, pp 153-179 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract On September 5, 1935, the Moscow Mathematical Society held a commemorative meeting to honor the memory of Emmy Noether, who had died on April 14, 1935. In addition to members of the Society, the participants in the meeting included the brother of the deceased, Professor Fritz Noether of Tomsk University, and also mathematicians attending the First International Conference on Topology, which was taking place in Moscow at the same time. After a moment of silence was held in honor of the deceased, the Society’s president, P. S. Aleksandrov, gave a eulogy, which is printed below. Then specialists presented reports on research connected with the works and mathematical ideas of Emmy Noether: J. von Neumann (Princeton, U.S.A.), A. Weil (Paris), and A. G. Kurosh (Moscow). These papers are published in the journal Matematicheskii Sbornik. At the conclusion of the meeting, Academician S. Lefschetz (Princeton, U.S.A.) gave a short speech in honor of the deceased. In his speech Prof. Lefschetz emphasized, in particular, the great value that Emmy Noether’s ideas had for the development of modern topology.
