	William Rowan Hamilton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A child prodigy, Hamilton was born the son of Archibald Hamilton, a solicitor, in Dublin at 36 Dominick Street.
		Hamilton's mathematical studies seem to have been undertaken and carried to their full development without any assistance whatever, and the result is that his writings belong to no particular "school," unless indeed we consider them to form, as they are well entitled to do, a school by themselves.
		Hamilton was not specially fitted for the post, for although he had a profound acquaintance with theoretical astronomy, he had paid but little attention to the regular work of the practical astronomer.

		Hamilton detected an important defect in one of Laplace’s demonstrations, he was induced by a friend to write out his remarks, that they might be shown to Dr John Brinkley, afterwards bishop of Cloyne, but who was then the first royal astronomer for Ireland, and a accomplished mathematician.
		Hamilton's extraordinary investigations connected with the solution of algebraic equations of the fifth degree, and his examination of the results arrived at by N. Abel, G. Jerrard, and others in their researches on this subject, form another contribution to science.

	Arthur Cayley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hamilton was the kind of mathematician to suit such an occasion, but he never got the office, on account of his occasional breaks.
		But Cayley doubtless felt that he was addressing not only the popular audience then and there before him, but the mathematicians of distant places and future times; for the address is a valuable historical review of various mathematical theories, and is characterized by freshness, independence of view, suggestiveness, and learning.
		To Cayley's presidential address we are indebted for information about the view which he took of the foundations of exact science, and the philosophy which commended itself to his mind.

	HAMILTON, SIR.W.R.(1805-1865)
		William Fowan Hamilton, by all odds Ireland's gratest caaim to fame in the field of mathematics, was born in Dublin in 1805 and, except for short visits elsewhere, spent his whole life there.
		Hamilton thought off and on for a long peroid of years on albebras of ordered triples and quadruples of real numbers, but was always stymied on the matter of how to define multiplication so as to preserve the familiar laws of that operation while at the same time making the operation fit his physical investigations.
		Finally, in a flash of intuition in 1843 (as described in Section 13-10), it occurred to Hamilton that he was demanding too much and that he had to sacrifice the commutative law, and the algebra of quaternions, the first noncommutative algebre, was suddenly born.

	Matrices and determinants
		In the 1812 paper the multiplication theorem for determinants is proved for the first time although, at the same meeting of the Institut de France, Binet also read a paper which contained a proof of the multiplication theorem but it was less satisfactory than that given by Cauchy.
		Cayley quickly saw the significance of the matrix concept and by 1853 Cayley had published a note giving, for the first time, the inverse of a matrix.
		Cayley in 1858 published Memoir on the theory of matrices which is remarkable for containing the first abstract definition of a matrix.

		The main contribution of this thesis is a (first) feasible proof of the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem, and related principles of Linear Algebra (namely, the axiomatic definition of the determinant, the cofactor expansion formula, and multiplicativity of the determinant).
		This is a simple theory that allows us to formalize and prove all the basic properties of matrices (roughly the properties that state that the set of matrices is a ring).
		We extend LA to LAP by adding a new function, P, which is intended to denote matrix powering, i.e., P(n,A) means the n-th power of the matrix A. LAP is well suited for formalizing Berkowitz's algorithm, and it is strong enough to prove the equivalence of some fundamental principles of Linear Algebra.
