Physics and mathematics, Noether’s theorem: Context the Complexity of Science Education

This article introduces an important theorem for mathematics and physics called Nöther theorem. The historical context that led Nöther to his development will be addressed, exploring certain important aspects in his education and in his life. In the article an analytical approach is made from Bourdieu’s notion of capital, on relevant sociocultural aspects that made possible Nöther’s contributions in mathematics and physics. The objective is to postulate this document as a historical rescue that exalts the importance of the sociocultural context for the development of scientific knowledge. Seeking to propose a work option for the teaching of physics and mathematics, where a humanistic conception of knowledge is promoted in these disciplines.
