Beautiful Symmetry: The Story of Emmy Noether

Symmetry is everywhere It can be as simple as the wheels on a bike, or as complicated as the gravity and motion that allows a cyclist not to fall over. The way we understand it today is in large part thanks to the work of Emmy Noether, a woman who chose to be incredibly brave in a very challenging time. Not only did she escape fascist Germany during the peak of World War 2, but she redefined what it meant to be a woman in mathematics at the time when she earned her PHD and worked alongside the one and only Albert Einstein. Look for the symmetry on each page, illustrated by hand in the style of Art Deco as was in vogue at the time of Emmy's life. Beautiful Symmetry is the third book in the four part series, STEM Super-heroines, published by Girls Rock Math. GRM aims to inspire youth with stories of the brave, creative, and accomplished women that have helped shape mathematics as we know it today. Girls Rock Math is a program that aims to provide thought provoking, creative experiences in math, empowering girls to develop confidence in their skills and a life-long interest in mathematics.
