The great majority of Cayley’s mathematical writings (966 papers in all, with some short notes subsequently written about them) are in II. The subject lectured on was generally that of the memoir on which the professor was for the time engaged.The other duty of the chair — the advancement of mathematical science — was discharged in a handsome manner by the long series of memoirs which he published, ranging over every department of pure mathematics. Plücker, who published his ideas in 1865 (Cayley wrote copiously on analytical geometry, touching on almost every topic then under discussion. 16 sierpnia 1821 w Richmond (hrab. He published only one full-length book, Cayley was the sort of courteous and unassuming person about whom few personal anecdotes are told; but he was not so narrow in outlook as his prolific mathematical output might suggest.

The use of determinants in the theory of equations had by his time become a part of established practice, although the familiar square notation was Cayley’s (Cayley’s originality consisted in his creation of a theory of matrices that did not require repeated reference to the equations from which their elements were taken.
He was rarely obscure, and yet in the absence of peripheral explanation it is often impossible to deduce his original path of discovery.

If Cayley failed to pursue his abstract approach, this fact is perhaps best explained in terms of the enormous progress he was making in these subjects taken individually.In 1845 Cayley published his “Mémoire sur les fonctions doublement périodiques,” treating Abel’s doubly infinite products (Cayley wrote little on topology, although he wrote on the combinatorial aspect, renewed the discussion of the four-color-map problem, and corresponded with Tait on the topological problems associated with knots. Physics. During his life he was given an unusually large number of academic honors, including the Royal Medal (1859) and the Copley Medal (1881) of the For most of his life Cayley worked incessantly at mathematics, theoretical dynamics, and mathematical astronomy. Given an irreducible surface in three-dimensional space, with normal singularities and known elementary projective characters, many other important characteristics may be deduced from these equations, which were first found empirically by Salmonan and later proved by Cayley and Zeuthen.
For further details of Cayley’s very extensive work in Cayley’s wide mathematical range made it almost inevitable that he should write on the theory of groups.
His influence still pervades modern mathematics, in group theory (Cayley's theorem), matrix algebra (the Cayley-Hamilton theorem), and invariant theory, where he made his most significant contributions.
Salmon, who corresponded with him for many years, gave A photograph of Cayley is prefixed to the eleventh volume of the Cayley’s mathematical style was terse and even severe, in contrast with that of most of his contemporaries. The fundamental theorem of the theory of correspondence is difficult to assign to a particular author, for it was used in special cases by several writers; but Chasles (Cayley’s many additions to the subject of rational correspondences have for the most part passed into anonymity, although the name “Cayley-Plücker equations” is a reminder to geometers of how early appreciated were the connections between the order, the rank, the number of chords through an arbitrary point, the number of points in a plane through which two tangents pass, and the number of cusps of a curve in space and corresponding quantities (class, rank, and so on) of its osculating developable.
