Emmy Noether was born Amalie Emmy Noether in Erlangen, Bavaria, Germany on March 23, 1882. She had three other siblings, but all of them besides her brother, Fritz, passed away during their childhood. Her father was also a mathematician, Max Noether, and he sparked her interest for math later on in her life. As Emmy grew up, she studied a lot of different subjects, but she did not put a lot of emphasis on math until later. Noether spent a lot of time studying different languages, and she learned a lot from her mother about cooking and cleaning. Once Emmy graduated high school, she wanted to be a teacher, which led to her taking an exam to become a teacher of English and French to young women.
Media captionHye-Min Park explains why she studies from 8am to 11pm each day. The results of the international school tests - known as Pisa tests - are to be published by the OECD on Tuesday. In previous years, South Korea has been one of the highest achievers. But it means long hours of study. Hye-Min Park is 16 and lives in the affluent Seoul district of Gangnam, made famous by the pop star Psy. Her day is typical of that of the majority of South Korean teenagers. She rises at 6.30am, is at school by 8am, finishes at 4pm, (or 5pm if she has a club), then pops back home to eat. She then takes a bus to her second school shift of the day, at a private crammer or hagwon, where she has lessons from 6pm until 9pm.
