Given a field and a finite group G, the Noether number of G is defined as the minimal positive integer d such that for any finite-dimensional G-module V, the algebra of G-invariant polynomial functions on V is generated by elements of degree at most d. In the talk we shall survey results (obtained mostly together with Kálmán Cziszter) on the Noether number of various finite groups.
