Arthur Cayley(Q159430), a British mathematician that is a contemporary of Irish mathematician William Hamilton. Cayley has been credited for inventing matrix algebra.
Both Cayley and Hamilton had been inspired by Luca Pacioli's Double Entry Bookkeeping, where Cayley wrote a short pamphlet, named: "Principle of Double Entry Bookkepping"[1], and showed that balancing and keeping data consistent and honest being a mathematically interesting idea.
Fitzgerald's paper[2] on Quantum Information and Accounting Information: A Revolutionary Trend and the World of Topology explicitly referred to Cayley's interest in double entry bookkeeping and its connection to matrix algebra.
