Aronhold studied at Königsberg where he was taught by Bessel, Jacobi, Hesse and Franz Neumann. He went with Jacobi to Berlin where he continued his studies under Dirichlet and Steiner.

Aronhold made important contributions to the theory of invariants being the first German to work on that topic. Certain linear partial differential equations which he came across in his work are named after him.
