This book makes theInvariante Variationsproblemeaccessible inan English translation. It presents an analysis of the work of Noether’sprecursors, reformulates her argument in a more modern mathematicallanguage, and recounts the strange history of the article’s reception inthe mathematics and physics communities. This study shows how her twotheorems ultimately became the basis for any deep understanding of therole of symmetries in both classical and quantum physics.The Noether Theorems, a translation ofLes Théorèmes de Noetherwhose French text has been revised and expanded, provides rich documentation drawn from both primary and secondary sources.
