Galois Groups and the Symmetries of Polynomials
Before being mortally wounded in a duel at age 20, Évariste Galois discovered the hidden structure of polynomial equations. By studying the relationships between their solutions — rather than the solutions on their own — he created new concepts that have since become an essential part of many branches of mathematics. No one knows why Galois found himself on a Paris dueling ground early in the…
