7 lives in this collection worked in invariant theory, from 1815 to today. Each has a full course on their life and the mathematics and physics they made.
Often together with: algebra, algebraic geometry, mathematical logic, mathematical physics. All fields
Self-taught English mathematician who created the algebra of logic now called Boolean algebra and pioneered operator methods in analysis.
mathematical logic, algebra of logic, probability theory
Prolific Victorian algebraist who founded matrix algebra, gave the first abstract definition of a group, and built classical invariant theory.
algebra, invariant theory, group theory
French analyst and number theorist who proved the transcendence of e, solved the quintic with modular functions, and introduced Hermitian forms.
number theory, elliptic functions, invariant theory
The king of invariant theory, who proved constructively that the covariants of binary forms are finitely generated.
invariant theory, algebra, algebraic geometry
Founder of the algebraic and birational theory of curves and surfaces, known for the AF+BG theorem, Brill–Noether theory and Noether's formula.
algebraic geometry, algebraic functions, birational geometry
Leader of Göttingen mathematics whose basis theorem, Zahlbericht, axioms of geometry, Hilbert space, Paris problems and proof theory shaped twentieth-century mathematics.
invariant theory, algebraic number theory, foundations of geometry
Founder of modern abstract algebra and author of the theorems linking symmetries to conservation laws.
