1933 65438+ 10, Hitler issued the first decree as soon as he came to power, comparing Jews to "demons" and clamoring to crush "the rights of demons". Soon, the University of G? ttingen was ordered to dismiss all people of pure Jewish descent who were engaged in education. Among the expelled scholars, there is a woman named Amy Nord (A.E. Noether1882-1935), aged 5l, who is a professor in this university. The lecture she gave was forced to stop, and even her meager salary was cancelled. This woman who has achieved academic success is calm in the face of difficulties because she has spent her life in adversity.

Nord grew up in the family of a Jewish math professor and liked math since he was a child. 1903, Nord, 2 1 year-old, was admitted to the University of G? ttingen, where he listened to lectures by Klein, Hilbert, Minkowski and others, and formed an indissoluble bond with mathematics. She published several high-quality papers when she was a student, and at the age of 25, she became one of the few female doctors in mathematics in the world.

Nord has made outstanding contributions to the study of differential inequalities, rings and ideal subgroups. But because of the low status of women at that time, she was not even a lecturer. With the strong support of the great mathematician Hilbert, Nord became the first female lecturer at the University of G? ttingen from Hilbert's "private lecturer". Next, because of her outstanding scientific research achievements and Hilbert's recommendation, she was qualified as an "supernumerary associate professor", although she was better than many people.

Nord loves mathematics education and is good at inspiring students to think. She has never been married, but she has many children. She keeps close contact with students and is amiable. People affectionately call the students around her "Nord's children". China mathematician Ceng Jiong is one of Nord's "children".

Under Hitler's arrogance, Nord was forced to leave the University of G? ttingen and go to work in the United States. In America, she is also respected and loved by students, as well as her "children". 1938+0934 In September, the United States established a postdoctoral scholarship named after Nord. Unfortunately, Nord died of surgery less than two years after working in the United States at the age of 53. Many colleagues in the field of mathematics are deeply saddened. Einstein delivered a eulogy at the The New York Times, saying, "According to the judgment of authoritative mathematicians, Ms. Nord is the most important creative mathematical genius since women received higher education."
