Paul Albert Gordan (April 27, 1837 – December 21, 1912) was a German mathematician, a student of Carl Jacobi at the University of Breslau (1862)[1] and a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.

A mathematician is a person whose primary area of study and research is the field of Mathematics. Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi ( December 10, 1804 - February 18, 1851) was a Prussian Mathematician, widely considered to be The University of Wrocław (Uniwersytet Wrocławski Universität Breslau Universitas Wratislaviensis is one of nine universities in Wrocław, Poland History The university was founded in 1742 in Bayreuth by Frederick Margrave of Bayreuth, and moved to Erlangen in 1743
He was known as "the king of invariant theory". Invariant theory is a branch of Abstract algebra that studies actions of groups on algebraic varieties from the point of view of their effect [2][3] His most famous result is that the ring of invariants of binary forms of fixed degree is finitely generated. [3] He and Alfred Clebsch gave their name to Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. Rudolf Friedrich Alfred Clebsch ( 19 January 1833 – 7 November 1872) was a German Mathematician who made important contributions In Physics, the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are sets of numbers that arise in Angular momentum coupling under the laws of Quantum mechanics. Gordan also served as the thesis advisor for Emmy Noether.

Gordan described a proof of David Hilbert's in invariant theory, saying "This is not mathematics; this is theology. David Hilbert ( January 23, 1862 &ndash February 14, 1943) was a German Mathematician, recognized as one of the most Invariant theory is a branch of Abstract algebra that studies actions of groups on algebraic varieties from the point of view of their effect Mathematics is the body of Knowledge and Academic discipline that studies such concepts as Quantity, Structure, Space and Theology is the study of a god or the gods from a religious perspective "[2]
