  Arthur Cayley - LoveToKnow Watches
In 1846, having decided to adopt the law as a profession, he left Cambridge, entered at Lincoln's Inn, and became a pupil of the conveyancer Mr Christie.
He was called to the bar in 1849, and remained at the bar fourteen years, till 1863, when he was elected to the new Sadlerian chair of pure mathematics in the university of Cambridge.
He settled at Cambridge in the same year, and married Susan, daughter of Robert Moline of Greenwich.

Cayley practiced law until 1863, when he was elected to the new Sadlerian chair of pure mathematics at Cambridge.
His lectures at Cambridge attracted very few students; among them, however, was A.R. Forsyth, who succeeded him in the Sadlerian chair and, by introducing the new theory of functions that had been making progress in France and Germany, helped to bring English mathematics back into the mainstream of European trends.
In 1881-82 Cayley lectured at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore on Abelian functions-a means of combining numbers such that the result of mathematical treatment is independent of the order.

After graduating from Trinity College, Cambridge, he stayed on for three years as a tutor.
In 1863, he accepted the newly established Sadlerian professorship of mathematics at Cambridge University.
His important innovations in mathematics were the notions of an abstract group, group algebra and the matrix concept.

During this time Cayley wrote and published 250 more papers, many of which are considered classics today, and he also met James Sylvester, a fellow mathematician and lawyer, and fostered a friendship that would last as long as the two of them [10].
In 1863, Cayley would be appointed Sadlerian professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Cambridge.
Although disappointed about the significant pay decrease, Cayley was delighted to finally have an opportunity to dedicate and devote him completely to the field of mathematics.

But it also accomplished something which its author had certainly never intended.
For Cambridge now found itself equipped with a corps of modern pure mathematicians whose nominal leader was a living fossil firmly fixed in the Sadlerian chair.
This grotesque situation seemed to all intents and purposes a permanent one: Forsyth's international reputation was enormous and in any case there was no possibility of removing him; it appeared as though he were there for life.

 [No title]
For a period of several years, he studied and practiced law, always being careful not to let his legal practice prevent him from working on mathematics.
When the Sadlerian professorship was established at Cambridge in 1863, Cayley was offered the chair, which he accepted, thus giving up a lucrative future in the legal profession for the modest provision of an academic life.
But then he could devote all of his time to mathematics.
