The mathematics of Frobenius in context : a journey through 18th to 20th century mathematics
Frobenius is best known as creator of the theory of group characters and representations, but his name is attached to a multitude of theorems and concepts from a broad spectrum of mathematical disciplines. In this book his mathematics is presented in context in two senses. The first provides the rea...
