Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this outstanding contribution to mathematics announcing his invention and developments of the ALGEBRA OF MATRICES what is now called the Cayley-Hamilton theorem for square matrices of any order. "The subject originated in a memoir of 1858 the paper offered and grew directly out of simple observations on the way in which the transformations linear of the theory of algebraic invariants are combined.a distinctive feature of these rules is that multiplication is not commutative.we get different results according to the order in which we do the multiplication. it seems about as far from anything of scientific or practical use as anything could possible be. Yet sixty seven years after Cayley's invented it HEISENBERG in 1925 recognized in the algebra of matrices exactly the tool which he neede for his revolutionary work in QUANTUM MECHANICS."Bell Men of Mathematics."It was in connection with the study of invariants under linear transformation that Cayley first introduced matrices to simplify the notation involved. Here he gave some basic notions. This was followed by his first major paper on the subject "A Memoir on the Theory of Matrices." the paper offered here.

Brillouin's paper: pp. 24-26. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of Brillouin's importent paper in which he introduced the WKB-method in quantum Mechanics."In 1925 Brillouin was the only French theoretician to react competently to Werner Heisenberg’s new matrix mechanics. In two papers published in 1926 he contributed to the exploration of the mathematical content of Heisenberg’s theory. Brillouin’s first contribution in this field was important the paper offered. Through a new method of semiclassical approximation he discovered the relation between Schrodinger’s mechanics and the quantum theory of Niels Bohr and Sommerfeld. Presumably inspired by de Broglie’s early analogies between mechanics and optics he found this approximation as the quantum mechanical countet of the approximation. In this procedure stationary solutions of the Schrödinger equation are sought in the form eiS/h as in the eikonal approximation of optics. In the first approximation h small S must be a solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of classical mechanics and the Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions S = 2pnh on a closed trajectory must be satisfied for the W function to be defined and singlevalued in all space. Subsequent corrections are proportional to successive powers of h. They intermix the various Bohr trajectories. thereby reintroducing the complex interplay of quantum states found in matrix mechanics This method published by Brillouin in July 1926 - anticipated by Harold Jeffreys in 1923 in a purely mathematical context reinvented by Gregor Wentzel in September 1926. and perfected by Hendrik Kramers in November 1926 - is now called the J BWK method and is widely used in many quantum mechanical problems."DSB.See also Max Jammer "The Conceptual development of Quantum Mechanics" pp. 277 ff. </em> unknown
