In 1842, also, he was elected a See also:fellow of Trinity, and became a See also:major fellow in 1845, the See also:year in which he proceeded to the M.A. degree. He was assistant See also:tutor of Trinity for three years. In 1846, having decided to adopt the See also:law as a profession, he See also:left Cambridge, entered at See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn, and became a See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf. "pupa," Lat. for " doll," the name given to the stage intervening between the larval and imaginal stages in certain insects)
pupil of the conveyancer Mr See also:Christie. He was called to the See also:bar in 1849, and remained at the bar fourteen years, till 1863, when he was elected to the new Sadlerian See also:chair of pure See also:mathematics in the university of Cambridge. He settled at Cambridge in the same year, and married Susan, daughter of See also:Robert See also:Moline of See also:Greenwich.

time he went first to Cambridge till his death he was constantly engaged in mathematical investigation. The number of his papers and See also:memoirs, some of them of considerable length, exceeds Boo; they were published, at the time they were composed, in various scientific See also:journals in See also:Europe and See also:America, and are now embodied, through the enter-prise of the syndics of the Cambridge University See also:Press, in thirteen large See also:quarto volumes. These See also:form an enduring See also:monument to his fame. He wrote upon nearly every subject of pure mathematics, and also upon theoretical See also:dynamics and spherical and See also:physical See also:astronomy. He was quite as much a geometrician as he was an See also:analyst. Among his most remarkable See also:works may be mentioned his ten memoirs on quantics, commenced in 1854 and completed in 1878; his creation of the theory of matrices; his researches on the theory of See also:groups; his memoir on abstract See also:geometry, a subject which he created; his introduction into geometry of the " See also:absolute "; his researches on the higher singularities of curves and surfaces; the See also:classification of cubic curves; additions to the theories of rational transformation and See also:correspondence; the theory of the twenty-seven lines that See also:lie on a cubic See also:surface; the theory of elliptic functions; the attraction of ellipsoids; the See also:British Association Reports, 1857 and 1862, on See also:recent progress in See also:general and See also:special theoretical dynamics, and on the See also:secular See also:acceleration of the See also:- MOON (a common Teutonic word, cf.

Competent See also:judges have compared him to Leonhard See also:Euler for his range, See also:analytical See also:power and introduction of new and fertile theories. He was the recipient of nearly every See also:academic distinction that can be conferred upon an eminent See also:man

At various times he was president of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, of the London Mathematical Society and of the Royal Astronomical Society. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1852, and received from that See also:body a Royal See also:medal in 1859 and the See also:Copley medal in 1882. He also received the De See also:Morgan medal from the London Mathematical Society, and the See also:Huygens medal from Leiden.
