Part of manuscript written by Evariste Galois
Part of a manuscript written by the French mathematician Evariste Galois (1811-1832). Galois worked on the problem of finding general solutions for equations of degree n (ie containing terms of the form x raised to the power n, where n is an integer). Galois showed that each equation has an associated group (the Galois term) of substitutions, and that this group determines the solvability of the equation. This work formed the foundations of the branch of mathematics known as group theory

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable part of a manuscript written by the brilliant French mathematician, Evariste Galois (1811-1832). Galois dedicated his efforts to unraveling the mysteries surrounding equations of degree n, which encompass terms like x raised to the power n, where n represents an integer. His groundbreaking work led him to discover that each equation possesses an associated group known as the Galois term. Astonishingly, this very group determines whether or not an equation can be solved. Galois's profound insights laid down the foundations for what is now recognized as one of mathematics' most significant branches – group theory. This discipline explores the intricate relationships and properties within groups, ultimately shedding light on various mathematical phenomena. Within this historical artifact lies a testament to Galois's genius and his invaluable contributions to our understanding of algebraic structures. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in his tragically short life, he managed to revolutionize mathematics with his unparalleled intellect. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece of history captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how individuals like Evariste Galois have shaped our world through their unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of knowledge in their respective fields.
