Content:
\emph{Ferdinand Georg Frobenius} (1849 - 1917) German mathematician, best known for being the first to prove the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. Several different mathematical concepts now bear his name, including various Frobenius morphisms, the Frobenius map, the Frobenius group, the Frobenius inequality, etc.
Born in Charlottenburg, Frobenius earned a doctorate at the University of Berlin for his thesis on differential equations with \PMlinkname{Karl Weierstra{\ss}}{KarlWeierstrass} as his advisor. After that he taught mathematics in Berlin and Z\"urich, and researched group theory (proving the existence of Sylow groups) and number theory. |
