Descrizione del libro

John Hilton Grace (1873–1958) and Alfred Young (1873–1940) were mathematicians specialising in algebra and geometry; both became Fellows of the Royal Society. Invariant theory forms part of abstract algebra, and this 1903 book, which became a standard work, brought recent German research to the attention of British scholars.
