摘要：
Historians have repeatedly asserted that invariant theory was born in two papers of George Boole (1841 and 1842). Although several themes and techniques of 19th-century invariant theory are enunciated in this work, in reacting to it (and thereby founding the British school of invariant theory), Arthur Cayley shifted Boole's research program.
