Evariste Galois

On the 25th of October 1811, Evariste Galois was born to Adelaide-Marie Demante and Nicholas-Gabriel Galois, the mayor of Bourg-La-Reine. With literate and well-read parents who accommodated a school, Evariste was educated with his brother and sister by their mother, Adelaide-Marie. They were taught in the essential subjects of the day - literature, religion, and philosophy, but not much more. It wasn't until he entered his first school, the lycee Louis-de-Grand in Paris, that he first encountered mathematics.

His first year at Louis-de-Grand was successful, and even resulted in a few prizes for Galois. His grades were decent, and his schoolwork was well done. But as soon as he uncovered Legendre's texts on geom

Pescheux d'Herbinville was regarded as one of the best shots in France, so Galois was almost certain that he would be killed. Though he seemed to have cast aside mathematics in bitterness and frustration, he did not wish for his work and research to die along with him. The night before the duel was spent hastily scribbling his theorems and complex algebra, work that he hoped would survive even if he did not.
