Emmy Noether began university at a time when women studying mathematics were only allowed to sit in on lectures. Even then, the professor’s permission was required.
She spent her first two years at Erlangen, then a year at Göttingen where she attended lectures by Hilbert, Klein, Minkowski, and Schwarzschild. Noether returned to Erlangen, where she began her doctorate in 1904. Three years later she was done, summa cum laude.
