I agree.  Because the final r in German words is almost unpronounced,
Noether pretty much rhymes with Goethe with pronunciation audio for
Goethe available at:

http://www.bartleby.com/61/64/G0176400.html 
and
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/goethe 

Ben Crowell agrees as well.  He has removed the incorrect instructions
on the pronunciation of Noether's name and he expressed thanks for the
pointing out of the error.
