Pp. 17-37 and Vol. 156 - Part I Pp. 25-35. 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.
