 Emmy 
 Noether is famous as the "mother 
 of modern algebra," but her influence extended 
 far beyond algebra alone. This talk, based 
 on my recent book with the title above, 
 will focus on Noether's broader influence as 
 an international figure in the 1920s. Beyond 
 her immediate circle of students, Noether's courses 
 drew talented mathematicians from all 
 over the world. Four of the most important were 
 B.L. van der Waerden, Pavel Alexandrov, Helmut 
 Hasse, and Olga Taussky. Noether's classic 
 papers on ideal theory inspired van der Waerden 
 to recast his research in algebraic geometry. 
 Her lectures on group theory motivated 
 Alexandrov to develop links between point set 
 topology and combinatorial methods. Noether's 
 vision for a new approach to algebraic number 
 theory gave Hasse the impetus to pursue a 
 line of research that led to the Brauer-Hasse-Noether 
 Theorem, whereas her abstract style 
 clashed with Taussky's approach to classical 
 class field theory during a difficult time when 
 both were trying to find their footing in 
 a foreign country. Hermann Weyl, her colleague 
 before both fled to the United States in 1933, 
 fully recognized that Noether's dynamic 
 school was the very heart and soul of the famous 
 Göttingen community. Two recent books on
