Episode 61 - Emmy Noether

<p>Dead Ladies Show Podcast<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Episode 61 - Emmy Noether</p> <p> </p> <p>For this episode, we bring back the presenter who appeared in our very first podcast episode, writer and translator Karen Margolis. Drawing from her own history in higher mathematics, Karen ably tells the tale of Germany’s Emmy Noether, who developed key theorems in theoretical physics and made important contributions to abstract algebra. Excluded from academic positions in Germany as a woman, she worked unpaid and under other lecturers’ names. Once she was finally allowed to teach in 1919, she had only 14 years until the Nazis banned her as a Jew. In American exile, she taught at the women’s college Bryn Mawr and occasionally at Princeton, though she felt she was not welcome at “the men’s university, where nothing female is admitted.”<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> Nowadays, everything from fellowships to a crater on the moon has honored Emmy, so it was clearly our turn to do so.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p> </p> <p>DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone to introduce things.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>(by the way - due to a numbering discrepancy, this podcast was numbered 60 when we recorded it, and is now adjusted to 61.
