This volume contains the proceedings of a Symposium held in honor
of Emmy Noether's lOOth birthday which was sponsored by the
Association for Women in Mathematics, and held at Bryn Mawr College
on March 17, 18 and 19, 1982. It was fitting that the Symposium be
held at Bryn Mawr, where Noether held her last position. Indeed,
the lectures were held in Goodhart Hall, where the famous Memorial
Address was delivered by Hermann Weyl on April 29, 1935. The
Association for Women in Mathematics is honored to have sponsored
this event, which was judged by many of those attending to have
been not only scien- tifically successful but a specially moving
occasion. There were nine scientific lectures by Nathan Jacobson,
Richard Swan, Judith Sally, David Mumford, Michele Vergne, Olga
Taussky-Todd, Karen Uhlenbeck, Walter Feit, and Armand Borel. There
was also a panel discussion on "Emmy Noether in Erlangen,
Gottingen, and Bryn Mawr" in which Gottfried Noether, Olga
Taussky-Todd, Grace Quinn, Ruth McKee, and Marguerite Lehr par-
ticipated. The last four were at Bryn Mawr during Emmy Noether's
time and presented their personal reminiscences of her. Gottfried
Noether is a nephew of Emmy Noether and gave an account of her life
and career in Germany.
