Ferdinand Georg Frobenius (26 October 1849 – 3 August 1917) was a German mathematician, best known for his contributions to the theory of elliptic functions, differential equations, number theory, and to group theory. He is known for the famous determinantal identities, known as Frobenius–Stickelberger formulae, governing elliptic functions ...
German mathematician who established the mathematical framework for the study of abstract groups. In particular, his paper on group characters was of fundamental importance to this field. In 1897, learning of work on matrices by Molien, Frobenius successfully reformulated much of his own work.
Aug 3, 2012 · 3 August 1917. Berlin, Germany. Summary. Georg Frobenius combined results from the theory of algebraic equations, geometry, and number theory, which led him to the study of abstract groups, the representation theory of groups and the character theory of groups.

Ferdinand Georg Frobenius was born in 1849 and spent his early career at the University of Berlin. From 1874 to 1892 he worked in Zurich at the institution now known as ETH. In 1892 he returned to the University of Berlin, working there until his death in 1917.
Georg Frobenius (born October 26, 1849, Berlin, Prussia [Germany]—died August 3, 1917, Berlin) was a German mathematician who made major contributions to group theory. Frobenius studied for one year at the University of Göttingen before returning home in 1868 to study at the University of Berlin .

Ferdinand Georg Frobenius (October 26, 1849 – August 3, 1917) was a German mathematician, best-known for his contributions to the theory of differential equations and to group theory. He also gave the first full proof for the Cayley–Hamilton theorem.
Frobenius’ major achievements were in group theory, which in the 1870’s and 1880’s, through the joining of its three historical roots—the theory of solutions of algebraic equations (Galois theory, permutation groups), geometry (finite and infinite transformation groups, Lie theory), and number theory (composition of quadratic forms, modules)—pro...
