Arthur Cayley, English Mathematician

Arthur Cayley (August 16, 1821 - January 26, 1895) was an English mathematician who helped found the modern British school of pure mathematics. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, where he excelled in Greek, French, German, and Italian, as well as mathematics. He worked as a lawyer for 14 years. He postulated the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, that every square matrix is a root of its own characteristic polynomial, and verified it for matrices of order 2 and 3. He was the first to define the concept of a group in the modern way as a set with a binary operation satisfying certain laws. In 1876 he published a Treatise on Elliptic Functions, which was his only book. In 1889 the Cambridge University Press requested him to prepare his mathematical papers for publication in a collected form. While editing these volumes, he succumbed to a painful internal malady, and died in 1895, at the age of 74.

Arthur Cayley, English Mathematician
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Arthur Cayley (16 de agosto de 1821 - 26 de enero de 1895) fue un matemático inglés que ayudó a fundar la escuela británica moderna de matemáticas puras. Ingresó al Trinity College de Cambridge, donde destacó en griego, francés, alemán e italiano, además de matemáticas. Trabajó como abogado durante 14 años. Postuló el teorema de Cayley-Hamilton, que cada matriz cuadrada es una raíz de su propio polinomio característico, y lo verificó para matrices de orden 2 y 3. Fue el primero en definir el concepto de grupo en la forma moderna como un conjunto. con una operación binaria que satisface ciertas leyes. En 1876 publicó un Tratado sobre funciones elípticas, que fue su único libro. En 1889, la Cambridge University Press le pidió que preparara sus artículos matemáticos para su publicación en forma recopilada. Mientras editaba estos volúmenes, sucumbió a una dolorosa enfermedad interna y murió en 1895, a la edad de 74 años.
