Evariste Galois (1811-1832). Caricature of the French mathematician Evariste Galois. While still in his teens,Galois was able to determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be solvable by radicals,thereby solving a long-standing problem. His work laid the foundations for Galois theory,a major branch of abstract algebra,and the subfield of Galois connections. He was the first to use the word group as a technical term in mathematics to represent a group of permutations. As a teenager Galois was constantly failing exams and fighting with teachers,was imprisoned for threatening the king's life and finally died of wounds suffered while duelling over a harlot | |
