| Combining a concrete perspective with an exploration-based approach, this analysis develops Galois theory at an entirely undergraduate level. |
| He began to study the Galois theory of equations and from there he was led to study composition series of groups. |
| When Galois wrote a vigorous article expressing pro-republican views, he was promptly expelled from the École Normale Supérieure. |
| This vision was brilliantly realised by two young mathematicians, Niels Henrik Abel and Evariste Galois, in the early nineteenth century. |
| His interests in research relate to finite geometries and the group theory related to them, to Cremona transformations related to the Galois theory of equations. |
| The most tragic and romantic figure is the French mathematician, Evariste Galois, who died aged 20 in a pistol duel. |
