| Summary |
"There are few articles which can reasonably be described as epoch-making. Einstein's Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper (1905) is undoubtedly one such; Turing's On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entschei- dungsproblem (1936) is undoubtedly another. But standing equally tall among these ranks should surely be the article to which this volume and so much else besides; owes its existence: Emmy Noether's 'Invariante Variationsprobleme' (1918). In that one article, Noether proved two theorems (and their converses) forging links between symmetries and conserved quantities which were to go on - whether by her intentions or not - to constitute the bedrock of modern theoretical physics"-- Provided by publisher |
