George Abram Miller was an employee for whom from 1897 to 1901?
George Abram Miller George Abram Miller ( 31 July 1863 – 10 February 1951 ) was an early group theorist . At age 17 Miller began school-teaching to raise funds for higher education . In 1882 he entered Franklin and Marshall Academy , and progressed to Muhlenberg College in 1884 . He received his B.A . in 1887 and M.A . in 1890 . While a graduate student , Miller was Principal of schools in Greeley , Kansas and then professor of mathematics as Eureka College in Eureka , Illinois . He corresponded with Cumberland University in Lebanon , Tennessee for his Ph.D . in 1892 . He then joined Frank Nelson Cole at University of Michigan and began to study groups . In 1895 he went to Europe where he heard Sophus Lie lecture at Leipzig and Camille Jordan at Paris . In 1897 he went to Cornell University as an assistant professor , and in 1901 to Stanford University as associate professor . In 1906 he went to University of Illinois where he taught until retirement in 1931 . Miller helped in the enumeration of finite groups of degree 8 , 9 , and 10 . Arthur Cayley had listed 198 groups of degree 8 in 1891 , and Miller found two more making the total 200 in 1893 . Camille Jordan had given a list for degree 9 in 1872 , re-examined by Cole , and brought up to 258 groups by Miller . In 1894 Miller produced a list of 294 intransitive groups of degree 10 . In consequence , the Academy of Science of Cracow awarded a prize and Miller came to prominence in the mathematical world abruptly . Miller was president of the Mathematical Association of America 1921–1922 and gave a plenary address at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1924 in Toronto . Millers Collected Works were edited by Henry Roy Brahana and published by University of Illinois Press , the first two volumes appearing in 1935 and 1939 . The final three volumes were published in 1946 , 1955 , and 1959 . His doctoral students include H . L . Rietz .
