New Delhi: In its latest doodle, Google is celebrating the 133rd birth anniversary of influential German mathematician Emmy Noether on March 23, who is known for her groundbreaking contributions to the fields of abstract algebra and theoretical physics.
Legendary physicist Albert Einstein once referred to Noether as, "the most significant mathematical genius thus far produced." Designed by Sophie Diao, this doodle highlights Noether's numerous accomplishments and throw a light on the influence she had on the world.
In her design inspiration, doodler Diao notes that she originally drew several concepts attempting to visualize Noether's Theorem due to it's revolutionary impact on the way people approach physics. Later, she decided that the doodle should include references to Noether's mathematical work too.
Diao explains in the blog, each circle in the doodle symbolizes a branch of math or physics that Noether devoted her illustrious career to. From left to right, you can see topology (the donut and coffee mug), ascending/descending chains, Noetherian rings (represented in the doodle by the Lasker-Noether theorem), time, group theory, conservation of angular momentum, and continuous symmetries-and the list keeps going on and on from there!
