Évariste Galois
Évariste Galois
(; 25 October 1811 – 31 May 1832) was a
French
mathematician born in
Bourg-la-Reine
. While still in his teens, he was able to determine a
necessary and sufficient condition
for a
polynomial
to be solvable by
radicals
, thereby solving a problem standing for 350 years. His work laid the foundations for
Galois theory
and
group theory
, two major branches of
abstract algebra
, and the subfield of
Galois connections
. He died at age 20 from wounds suffered in a
duel
.
