The most challenging thing is when my grandparent died, and we were so close he was like my best friend. He died with a heart attack, and the day before he died he told me that he was going to visit me but it turn so worse. When he died my dad did not told me because he thought i was going to be sad, but he knew that even tho he have to tell me. When he told me i got so sad i was not eating, just crying it  really impact me and affect me. My dad  enter to my room and hugged me he was crying too, because it was his daddy that died. He told me that he was resting, that he was fine he was better like that, because here he was suffering a lot. I understood him, but i knew that i was going to miss him. i challenge this not for forgetting him because i will always remember him, but what i did was to move forward, i know that life is a lot of surprises, bad and gods one, i had to understand that, this was really challenging because it was hard not hanging out with him no more. that was hard but i have to worry about me too. And i learn to pass all the hard choices, is not easy but you cant do anything about it.

EMMY NOETHERS

• Emmy Noether's 133rd Birthday

• Emmy Noether was no ordinary person...need proof? How many people do you know can count Albert Einstein as a fan of their work? The legendary physicist once referred to Noether as, “The most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced,” a fitting endorsement for a mathematician who made groundbreaking contributions to the fields of abstract algebra and theoretical physics, all the while overcoming deep seated sexism in her line of work. For Noether’s 133rd birthday, I thought it would be best to highlight the mathematician's numerous accomplishments and shine a light on the influence Noether had on the world.
  
  

  
  When I first started tackling this doodle, I originally drew several concepts attempting to visualize Noether’s Theorem due to its revolutionary impact on the way people approach physics. But after discussing my ideas with a few professionals in the field, I decided that the doodle should include references to her mathematical work too. Noether was passionate about math, despite living in an era where women were often excluded from these subjects. While studying at the University of Erlangen as just one of two women at the school, Noether was only allowed to audit classes and needed to obtain permission from her professors in order to attend. After passing her graduation exam, she taught at the school’s Mathematical Institute for seven years without pay, frequently covering her father’s classes when he was out sick and publishing her own papers.

               

  But there weren’t any obstacles that would stop Noether from her studies. In this doodle,
  each circle symbolizes a branch of math or physics that Noether devoted her illustrious career to. From left to right, you can see topology (the donut and coffee mug), ascending/descending chains, Noetherian rings (represented in the doodle by the Lasker-Noether theorem), time, group theory, conservation of angular momentum, and continuous symmetries–and the list keeps going on and on from there! Noether’s advancements not only reflect her brilliance but also her determination in the face of adversity.
