Ferdinand Georg Frobenius (October 26, 1849 – August 3, 1917) was a German mathematician, best-known for his contributions to the theory of differential equations and to group theory.
Frobenius was born in Charlottenburg, a suburb of Berlin, and was educated at the University of Berlin.
Group theory was one of Frobenius' principal interests in the second half of his career.

Georg Frobenius briefly attended the University of Göttingen, but he only studied there for one semester before returning to the city of his birth, Berlin.
Then, in 1874 he was appointed to the University of Berlin as an extraordinary professor of mathematics, and in 1875 he became an ordinary professor at the Eidgen&oouml;ssische Polytechnikum.
In his work in group theory, Frobenius combined results from the theory of algebraic equations, geometry, and number theory, which led him to the study of abstract groups.

 Burnside's lemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Burnside's lemma, sometimes also called Burnside's counting theorem, the Cauchy-Frobenius lemma or the orbit-counting theorem, is a result in group theory which is often useful in taking account of symmetry when counting mathematical objects.
Its various eponyms include William Burnside, George Pólya, Augustin Louis Cauchy, and Ferdinand Georg Frobenius.
William Burnside stated and proved this lemma (without attribution) in his 1897 about this formula, but mathematical historians have pointed out that he was not the first to discover it; Cauchy in 1845 and Frobenius in 1887 also knew of this formula.

The year 1897 was marked by two important mathematical events: the publication of the first paper on representations of finite groups by Ferdinand Georg Frobenius (1849-1917) and the appearance of the first treatise in English on the theory of finite groups by William Burnside (1852-1927).
In the next few years, working independently, Frobenius and Burnside explored the new subject and its applications to finite group theory.
Also included are biographical sketches and enough mathematics to enable readers to follow the development of the subject.
