  In this paper we will trace the development of the use of symmetry in
discussing the theory of motion initiated by Emmy Noether in 1918. Though it
started with its use in Classical Mechanics, and has been heavily used in
engineering applications of Mechanics, it came into its own in Relativity, and
Quantum Theory and their applications in Particle Physics and Field Theory. It
will be beyond the scope of this article to explain the Quantum Field Theory
applications in any detail, but the base for understanding it will be provided
here. We will also go on to discuss an insight from some more mathematical
developments related to Noether symmetry.
