  PAUL GORDAN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Paul Albert Gordan, a mathematician at the University of Erlangen, was a close friend of Max Noether, and Emmy Noether was Gordan's only doctoral student.
Besides her father, Gordan must have been well-nigh one of the most familiar figures in Emmy's early life, first as a friend of the house, later as a mathematician also; she kept a profound reverence for him though her own mathematical taste soon developed in quite a different direction.
Gordan was known as the "king of invariant theory," having proved a famous theorem by explicitly constructing a finite rational integral basis for binary invariants.

 Gordan biography
Gordan did not undertake the bulk of this work at Giessen, however, for he moved to Erlangen in 1874 to become professor of mathematics at the university.
Gordan was recognised as the leading world expert on invariant theory and he was also a close friend of Klein's.
Gordan's only doctoral student was Emmy Noether, the daughter of Max Noether who was also at Erlangen during this period.

 Gordan
Paul was educated in Breslau where he attended the Gymnasium, going on to study at the business school.
For the rest of his career, although Gordan did not work exclusively on this topic, it would be fair to say that invariant theory dominated his mathematical research.
Emmy Noether was Gordan's only doctoral student, but one would have to say that the lack of numbers is more than made up for by the remarkable quality of that one student who would do so much to set algebra on the path it is still on today.

Albert Besnard (1849-1934) was born in Paris to parents who were both artists; his mother was a distinguished miniaturist.
The audacious fixed gaze of the courtesan in the forefront confronts the viewer much in the same manner as Manet's Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe (1862-63) while the dreamlike vacuous countenance of her companion juxtaposes their threat of modern 19th century feminine sexuality with a darkly disarming malaise; the viewer is made an uncomfortable voyeur.

 Gordan biography
Moving to Königsberg, Gordan studied under Jacobi, then he moved to Berlin where he began to become interested in problems concerning algebraic equations.
Gordan found Hilbert's revolutionary approach difficult to appreciate and not at all consistent with his ideas of constructive mathematics.
One would have to say that this lack of numbers is more than made up for by the remarkable quality of that one student who would do so much to set algebra on the path it is still on today.

Gordan, Paul Albert (1837 1912 AD) : German mathematician noted for his proof in 1868 AD of his finite base theorem, subsequently known as Gordan’s theorem.
In 1888 AD he generalized an important theorem of Gordan’s to higherorder systems, while in 1899 AD he published his famous Grundlagen der Geometrie (Foundations of Geometry) in which he provided a rigorous axiomatic foundation for the subject.

 Clebsch-Gordan coefficients - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In more mathematical terms, the CG coefficients are used in representation theory, particularly of compact Lie groups, to perform the explicit direct sum decomposition of the tensor product of two irreducible representations into irreducible representations, in cases where the numbers and types of irreducible components are already known abstractly.
The name derives from the German mathematicians Alfred Clebsch (1833-1872) and Paul Gordan (1837-1912), who encountered an equivalent problem in invariant theory.
In terms of classical mathematics, the CG coefficients, or at least those associated to the group SO(3), may be defined much more directly, by means of formulae for the multiplication of spherical harmonics.

 KOVALEVSKY, S.(1850-1891) and NOETHER, A.E.(1882-1935)
When Gordan retired in 1910, he was followed one year later by Ernst Fischer (1875-1959), another algebraist with particular interests in the theory of elimination and the theory of invariants.
His influence on Noether was great, and under his direction, her preoccupation passed From the algorithmic aspect of Gordan's work to the abstract axiomatic approach of Hilbert.
After leaving Erlangern Emmy Noether studied at Gottingen, where she passed her habilitation examination in 1919, after overcoming objections of some of the faculty who were opposed to women lecturers.

 A Short History
Klein, Leonid Lachtin (1858-1927), Paul Gordan (1837-1912), Heinrich Maschke (1853-1908), Arthur Byron Coble (1878-1966), Frank Nelson Cole (1861-1926), and Anders Wiman (1865-1959) develop the fundamentals of how to solve a sextic via Klein's approach.
Paul Emile Appell (1855-1930) and Joseph Marie Kampe de Feriet (1893-1982) recognize the hypergeometric functions in the series solution of the quintic.

Emmy Noether's doctoral thesis was completed in 1907 under the supervision of Paul Gordan, who gave a constructive proof on the existence of invariant forms in n variables.
One does not need to know much about the theory of covariant forms to be impressed by the magnitude of her work.

 The origins of fractals
Hilbert was a much respected mathematician at the turn of the century, although his contemporaries such as Gordan often failed to appreciate Hilbert's revolutionary approach to solving problems.
This is particularly true of Hilbert's proof of the finite basis theorem which he submitted to Mathematische Annalen, a theorem that Gordan had proved twenty years earlier using a much more computational approach.
Today, Hilbert is particularly remembered for his famous 23 Paris problems (which included Goldbach's conjecture - see " Mathematical mysteries: the Goldbach conjecture" in Issue No 2), and also through the concept of Hilbert space, a vital tool in quantum theory.

 Abstract nonsense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Other, possibly less flattering, characterizations of abstract reasoning have been recorded, although they have not acquired the status of mathematical jargon.
The proof in question was the (non-constructive) existence of a finite basis for invariants.
This proof seemed to counter the sensibilities of Gordan, whom Weyl described in his Hilbert obituary as a great "algorithmician."

Charles Hermite (1873) first proved that e is transcendental, and Ferdinand von Lindemann (1882), showed that π is transcendental.
Lindemann's proof was much simplified by Weierstrass (1885), still further by David Hilbert (1893), and has finally been made elementary by Hurwitz and Paul Albert Gordan.
The development of calculus in the 1700s used the entire set of real numbers without having defined them cleanly.

For example, if you are looking for an album with a difficult title like "Negotiations & Love Songs 1971-86" by Paul Simon, try a title search for "Neg Love Songs".
The order of the words is not important so "Love Songs Neg" will also work.

 27 April History: This Date
En 1537, dès sa réapparition dans les pays chrétiens, l'esclavage avait été condamné par le pape Paul III [29 Feb 1468 – 10 Nov 1549] (mais les injonctions pontificales n'avaient pas eu plus de succès qu'elles n'en ont aujourd'hui en matière de moeurs).
Since then the shortest pontificate has been that of John Paul I [17 Oct 1912 –; 28 Sep 1978], elected on August 1979.
But before Leo XI, there were shorter pontificates: Urban VII [04 Aug 1521 – 27 Sep 1590] was elected on 15 September 1590, and the all-time record is held by Stephen II [–26 Mar 752] who was elected on 23 March 752.
