Frobenius made many important contributions to mathematics in the latter part of the
19th century. Hawkins here focuses on his work in linear algebra and its relationship
with the work of Burnside, Cartan, and Molien, and its extension by Schur and Brauer.
He also discusses the Berlin school of mathematics and the guiding force of Weierstrass
in that school, as well as the fundamental work of d'Alembert, Lagrange, and Laplace,
and of Gauss, Eisenstein and Cayley that laid the groundwork for Frobenius's work
in linear algebra. The book concludes with a discussion of Frobenius's contribution
to the theory of stochastic matrices
