Material type:
TextPublication details: New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2022. Description: viii, 378 pagesISBN: 9781108486231Subject(s): Noether's theorem | Symmetry (Physics) | Conservation laws (Physics)DDC classification: 539.1 Online resources: Table of content | Reviews Summary: In 1918, Emmy Noether, in her paper Invariante Variationsprobleme, proved two theorems (and their converses) on variational problems that went on to revolutionise theoretical physics. 100 years later, the mathematics of Noether's theorems continues to be generalised, and the physical applications of her results continue to diversify. This centenary volume brings together world-leading historians, philosophers, physicists, and mathematicians in order to clarify the historical context of this work, its foundational and philosophical consequences, and its myriad physical applications. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and professional researchers, this is a go-to resource for those wishing to understand Noether's work on variational problems and the profound applications which it finds in contemporary physics.
