Every dated entry below is established on
[[Noether's theorems/History/Gottingen and the energy problem|the history
track]]. Entries whose date or attribution rests on secondary literature rather
than on a primary text are marked.

'''A caution that applies to the whole of 1918.''' Neither Noether's paper nor
Klein's second note reached its final form until September, after both had been
presented in July. What was said at either July session is not recoverable from
the printed papers, and this chronology dates the presentations and the
manuscripts separately for that reason.

Entries from 1939 onward are the route the secondary literature commonly gives.
None of the papers named there was read, and

them]] says so.
