Marie Ennemond Camille Jordan ( January 5 1838 – January 22 1922 ) was a French Mathematician , known both for his foundational work in Group Theory and for his influential ''Cours d'analyse''. He was born in Lyon and educated at the École Polytechnique . He was an engineer by profession; later in life he taught at the École polytechnique and the Collège De France ; where he had a reputation for eccentric choices of notation. He is remembered now by name in a number of foundational results:
Jordan's work did much to bring Galois Theory into the mainstream. He also investigated the Mathieu Group s, the first examples of Sporadic Group s. His ''Traité des substitutions'', on Permutation Group s, was published in 1870 . The Asteroid 25593 Camillejordan and Institute Of Camille Jordan are named in his honour. Camille Jordan is not to be confused with the Geodesist Wilhelm Jordan ( Gauss-Jordan Elimination ) or the physicist Pascual Jordan ( Jordan Algebra s). BOOKS BY C. JORDAN
