Talk:Arthur Cayley

Source 📝

95: 85: 64: 255: 31: 193: 169: 22: 203: 368:, by Alexander MacFarlane, written in 1915. It might be public domain by now, but should at least be credited. Some bits need reworking, too; there's first person in there, which is what started me searching. Good call about the "dated" style. - 355:
Cayley genealogy: www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/british/cc4aq/cayley2.htm shows that merchant Henry Cayley, father of mathematician Arthur Cayley, is NOT brother to aeronautical pioneer and Knowledge subject Sir George Cayley (1773-1857).

He was born in Aug 1821. His 74th birthday would have been in Aug of 1821 + 74 = 1895. Since he died a few months before his birthday, in Feb 1895, he was 73 at the time of his death. Feel free to fix the Collected Papers section.

I am curious where the text for this article comes from. I would guess the bulk of it was not written by a Wikipedian; the style seems a bit dated. It would be nice to have sources for some of these quotes.

This Article focuses too much on the circumstances of his life and not enough on summarizing his work. Granted, there are links to discussions of various aspects of his work, but a real overview is missing.

On a related note, the mystery author (whom I shall name M.A.) doesn't seem to have a particularly NPOV. For instance, M.A. seems to have a grudge against "evolution philosophers".
264: 179: 616: 651: 536:-like(see the section about him receiving a chair at Cambridge). Besides this bit of oddness, a few in-line citations would really put this article on track for GA.-- 556:
The summary has him dying at age 73; the Collected Papers section(!) has him dying at 74. Someone who knows arithmetic could probably decide which of these is true.

Good guy! my uncle used to surf with him back in the 19th century! tbh tho, don't really like matrices. :/ Don't know what he was going for there

Lengthy article, but it covers its topic well. The prose seems to be very clumsy at points, almost
