December 13 is the 347th day of the year (348th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1921 was a common year starting on Saturday (see link for calendar). ... A mathematician is a person whose area of study and research is mathematics. ... Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which, as the name suggests, combines abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with geometry. ...
He was the father of Emmy Noether. A father is the male parent of a child. ... Emmy Noether (March 23, 1882 – April 14, 1935) was one of the most talented mathematicians of the early 20th century, with penetrating insights that she used to develop elegant abstractions which she formalized beautifully. ...
Hilbert and Felix Klein persuaded Emmy Noether to come to Göttingen and then embarked on a long campaign to have her appointed to a faculty position in spite of the Prussian law passed in 1908 which prohibited this.
In 1922 Noether was appointed to the position of "unofficial, extraordinary professor", in effect, a volunteer professor without pay or official status and she was later granted a tiny salary which was barely at subsistence level.
Noether published what is generally known as her most important paper, "Theory of Ideals in Rings" in 1921 which was of fundamental importance in the development of modern algebra.
