How Did Arthur Cayley Contribute To Slavery

Arthur Cayley had a pretty amazing life. He was born on August 16, 1821 in the United Kingdom. His mom was Maria Antonia Doughty and his dad was Henry Cayley, he also had one brother Charles Bagot Cayley. Cayley always had a love for math, even at a young age. He was sent to a private school in the United Kingdom up until he was fourteen years old. At fourteen he was sent to “King’s College School”. At the age of Seventeen he went to a school in Cambridge called “Trinity College” where he completed his undergraduate course. Karl Jacobi helped to inspire and motivate Cayley. Arthur Cayley died on January 26, 1895 of natural causes.
Arthur Cayley was a British mathematician who helped find the British school of pure mathematics. He was born August 16, 1821 and died on January 26, 1895. In history around this time slavery was going on. Slavery is the state or condition of being a slave; a civil relationship whereby one person has absolute power over another and controls his life, liberty, and fortune.

He came up with a theorem on invariants, which are things that don’t change when other things are changed. He opened many doors in the scientific and mathematical world by proving his and others theories, to be correct. His innovation of the matrix theory was far better than other theories, because it did not require matrix-elements to be repeatedly referred to the equations from which they were taken. His discoveries help us because scientists are not to study the atomic particle, because his matrix theorem is able to see bigger numbers. His development of n-dimensional geometry is used in physics to help in the study of the space-time continuum. Matrices are used in both chemistry and physics for quantum mechanics, which are the scientific principles that explain the behavior of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of
