About MeEvariste Galois (1811 - 1832) was a French mathematician whose contributions to the field of Abstract Algebra laid the foundations for modern Group Theory. He was able to single-handedly determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial equation to be solvable by radicals. A visionary, his work was not fully recognized by the mathematical community until long after his death which occurred on May 31, 1832 (age 20) from wounds suffered in a duel.
