Arthur Cayley (1821 1895) was a key figure in the creation of
modern algebra. He studied mathematics at Cambridge, qualified as a
lawyer, and published about 250 mathematical papers during his
fourteen years at the Bar. In 1863 he became the first Sadleirian
Professor of Pure Mathematics at Cambridge, where he continued to
publish at a phenomenal rate on nearly every aspect of the subject,
his most important work being in matrices, geometry and abstract
groups. In 1883 he became president of the British Association for
the Advancement of Science. Publication of his Collected Papers -
967 papers in 13 volumes plus an index volume - began in 1889 and
was completed after his death (while this volume was in the press)
under the editorship of his successor in the Sadleirian Chair. This
volume contains 70 papers published mostly between 1871 and 1873,
as well as a 36-page obituary of the author.
