Emmy Noether Zitate

„Es steht alles schon bei Dedekind.“

„Wissenschaftliche Anregung verdanke ich wesentlich dem persönlichen mathematischen Verkehr in Erlangen und in Göttingen. Vor allem bin ich Herrn E. Fischer zu Dank verpflichtet, der mir den entscheidenden Anstoẞ zu der Beschäftigung mit abstrakter Algebra in arithmetischer Auffassung gab, was für all meine späteren Arbeiten bestimmend blieb.“

„Meine Methoden sind wirklich Methoden des Arbeitens und Denkens; deshalb haben sie sich überall anonym eingeschlichen.“

“My methods are really methods of working and thinking; this is why they have crept in everywhere anonymously.”

“A ring of polynomials in any number of variables over a ring of coeffcients that has an identity element and a finite basis, itself has a finite basis.”

“I obtained scientific guidance and stimulation mainly through personal mathematical contacts in Erlangen and in Göttingen. Above all I am indebted to Mr. E. Fischer from whom I received the decisive impulse to study abstract algebra from an arithmetical viewpoint, and this remained the governing idea for all my later work.”

“If one proves the equality of two numbers a and b by showing first that a \leqq b and then that a \geqq b, it is unfair; one should instead show that they are really equal by disclosing the inner ground for their equality.”

“It is already all in Dedekind.”

“I have completely forgotten the symbolic calculus.”
