Editing Emmy Noether (section)

===Death===
In April 1935, doctors discovered a [[Neoplasm|tumor]] in Noether's [[pelvis]]. Worried about complications from surgery, they ordered two days of bed rest first. During the operation they discovered an [[ovarian cyst]] "the size of a large [[cantaloupe]]".{{Sfn |Kimberling| 1981| pp= 37–38}} Two smaller tumors in her [[uterus]] appeared to be benign and were not removed to avoid prolonging surgery. For three days she appeared to convalesce normally, and she recovered quickly from a [[circulatory collapse]] on the fourth. On 14 April, Noether fell unconscious, her temperature soared to {{convert|109|°F|°C|sigfig=3}}, and she died. "[I]t is not easy to say what had occurred in Dr. Noether", one of the physicians wrote. "It is possible that there was some form of unusual and virulent infection, which struck the base of the brain where the heat centers are supposed to be located." She was 53.{{Sfn|Kimberling|1981|pp=37–38}}

A few days after Noether's death, her friends and associates at Bryn Mawr held a small memorial service at College President Park's house.{{sfn|Rowe|2021|p=252}} Hermann Weyl and Richard Brauer both traveled from Princeton and delivered eulogies.{{sfn|Rowe|2021|pp=252, 257}} In the months that followed, written tributes began to appear around the globe: Albert Einstein joined van der Waerden, Weyl, and [[Pavel Alexandrov]] in paying their respects.<ref name="einstein"/> Her body was cremated and the ashes interred under the walkway around the cloisters of the [[Bryn Mawr College#Old Library (previously M. Carey Thomas Library and College Hall)|M. Carey Thomas Library]] at Bryn Mawr.{{Sfn|Kimberling|1981|p= 39}}<ref name="APSNews">{{cite journal |journal=APSNews| title=This Month in Physics History: March 23, 1882: Birth of Emmy Noether |url=https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201303/physicshistory.cfm |editor-last=Chodos |editor-first=Alan |publisher=[[American Physical Society]] |access-date=28 August 2020 |language=en |date=March 2013 |number=3 |volume=22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240714164817/https://www.aps.org/archives/publications/apsnews/201303/physicshistory.cfm |archive-date=14 July 2024 |url-status=live}}</ref>
