The Stanford University Mathematics Research Center (MRC), in conjunction with the School of Humanities & Sciences and Department of Physics, presents a performance of portraittheater's Diving into Math with Emmy Noether.

This play tells the story of the life and legacy of Emmy Noether, a twentieth-century mathematician whose contributions have had a profound, lasting impact on mathematics and physics.

Special introduction by Professor Tadashi Tokieda at 6:15pm Location: Hauck Auditorium, in the Traitel Building at Stanford University 435 Lasuen Mall, Stanford, CA 94305

This event is free and open to the public.

From portraittheater: Emmy Noether (1882 – 1935) is still one of the most outstanding minds in the field of mathematics. Despite many hurdles for women in science, she was the first woman in Prussia to qualify as a professor in 1919. Her influence on the development of modern structural mathematics was enormous. Her fundamental work was carried on in particular by the "Noether School" and through collaboration with scientists such as Helmut Hasse, Bartel L. van der Waerden, Paul Alexandroff and Olga Taussky-Todd.

Who this woman was, what significance Emmy Noether had as a researcher and teacher and what makes her special is told in the play by portraittheater with Anita Zieher and directed by Sandra Schüddekopf.
