After Noether was forced to leave Germany by the Nazis, he found a new advisor in Helmut Hasse,[2] and obtained his Ph.D. from Marburg University in 1934 on the thesis Über gewisse Beziehungen zwischen der Arithmetik hyperkomplexer Zahlsysteme und algebraischer Zahlkörper.
[3] He then was post doc at Trinity College, Cambridge before moving to Institute for Advanced Study 1935–37[4] and the Johns Hopkins University 1937–39.
He died in Highland Park, Illinois.
His students were, among others, the game theorist Anatol Rapoport and the mathematician Harley Flanders.
