Paul Albert Gordan (27 April 1837 – 21 December 1912) was a German mathematician known for work in invariant theory and for the Clebsch–Gordan coefficients and Gordan's lemma.[1] He was called "the king of invariant theory".[2][3] His most famous result is that the ring of invariants of binary forms of fixed degree is finitely generated.[3] Clebsch–Gordan coefficients are named after him and Alfred Clebsch. Gordan also served as the thesis advisor for Emmy Noether.[4][5]
