Paul Gordan is a mathematician known for his contributions to algebra and invariant theory, particularly in the late 19th century. He is perhaps best known for Gordan’s theorem, which addresses the completeness of the system of invariants for binary forms. In essence, the theorem asserts that the invariants of binary forms can be generated by a finite number of invariants. Gordan's work laid important groundwork for later developments in these areas of mathematics.
