(Arthur Cayley was a British mathematician. He helped found the modern British school of pure mathematics. He proved the Cayley-Hamilton theorem—that every square matrix is a root of its own characteristic polynomial. He was the first to define the concept of a group in the modern way—as a set with a binary operation satisfying certain laws. Formerly, when mathematicians spoke of "groups", they had meant permutation groups. Cayley's theorem was named after Arthur Cayley.)
