Encyclopedia: Arthur Cayley

Arthur Cayley (August 16 1821 - January 26 1895) was a British mathematician. He helped found the modern British school of pure mathematics.

As a child, Cayley enjoyed solving complex math problems for amusement. At eighteen, he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, where he excelled in Greek, French, German, and Italian, as well as mathematics.
