Introduction to Gauge Theory

Following this, Weyl introduced the term gauge, in attempting to explain a potential local symmetry of Electromagnetism, but did so incorrectly, however he and other mathematicians/physicists corrected this later on.

A Refugee Scholar: Noether and Bryn Mawr

Despite the discrimination against women which was common for the time, she gained a reputation as a leading researcher in modern algebra, and developed a collaborative rapport with Weyl.

Does Time Really Flow?

Hilbert felt that the removal of this law was equivalent to handicapping a boxer, but the mathematical framework that called for it intrigued some of the greatest minds of the time, Gödel, and Hermann Weyl.

Classical and Intuitionist Mathematics Shapes Our Understanding of Time in Physics

Brouwer was supported by people like Weyl, and Gödel, but Hilbert's formulation came out on top, leading to the expulsion of time from mathematics, and mathematical objects were thus seen as objects that exist in some platonic realm.
