Doctoral advisor names the mentor who supervised a mathematician's own doctorate. Wikipedia notes Noether completed "her doctorate in 1907 under the supervision of Paul Gordan," before spending years working unpaid because women were largely excluded from academic posts at the time. This dimension traces an academic lineage running from advisor to student.
