You're either trolling or haven't done any algebra further than matrix multiplication. Modern algebra as we know it is her and Artin.

I just tell you that contributions made by her were almost obvious by the time when she lived. If she didn't discover it, it could be discovered independently by other people.

Hilbert alone could have been named 50 times. He contributed to virtually every field of mathematics. He even derived the Einstein-Hilbert action independently of Einstein and provided a rigorous mathematical justification for quantum mechanics parallel to leading physicists of his time. We call them Hilbert spaces for a fucking reason.

>Maybe if I list enough mathematicians it'll throw them off... Yeah, that should it.
No, anon, Atiyah, Minkowski, Singer, Kac, Ito, Weyl, Teichmüller, Turing, Gentzen, Post, Skolem, Seiberg, Selberg, Witten, Lichnerowicz, Church, Kodaira, Wiles, Thom, Bott, Klein, Erdös, Milnor, Smale, Chow, Chern, Chevalley, Dieudonne, Dynkin, Gromov, Kontsevich, Nash, Conway, Deligne, Mumford did not in fact contribute more than Noether did. And the contributions of about ~half of those would not have been possible (in the sense that they came to be) without her shaping of modern algebra.
>>16452482
The distance between her work and theirs is much smaller than that of theirs and the Greeks, her ideas are direct antecedents.
>>16452467
Artin worked with her, not by himself.
>>16452699
No one is diminishing Hilbert's contributions. He could possibly be named the greatest mathematician of the 20th century and the last universalist. But Noether did a lot too.

>Noether over Weyl

Okay lets actually bring numbers to this. I'm going to use wikipedia because I'm lazy, and also just use namesakes, though Stigler's law may apply to some degree, lets just assume that the number of "Stigler" namesakes for Noether is equal to Weyl's "Stigler" namesakes. Lets see who actually did more here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_things_named_after_Emmy_Noether

Emmy Noether:

17 contributions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_things_named_after_Hermann_Weyl

Hermann Weyl:

73 contributions not including Weyl notation

Weyl wins by 56 contributions

If we are gonna compare mathematicians, lets do it numerically.

While I agree that Weyl is debatable, you do realise that most of Weyl's non-physical work has been in group and representation theory, a field that Noether and her cohort (which included Weyl) shaped? It's not about how many things one has named after themselves, it's about the scope, depth, and pervasiveness of the ideas introduced. I won't go so far as to say Weyl's work wouldn't have been possible without Noether's (he was a colleague, not a student), but it's certainly of a piece and on the same continuum.

Whew lad. If you wanna go math mode define a space and its measure first. Just using positive integers isn't cutting it.

noether made no further contributions after max noether died. he's probably the one who came up with the theorem proofs and just passed it along to his daughterson who could scam fame and and a cushy academic position, which as a bonus subverts the hard sciences by forcing them to have a "woman" in their ranks.
