"Évariste Galois, pronounced Gall-uh-wah, (25 October 1811 – 31 May 1832) was a French mathematician and political activist. While still in his teens, he was able to determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be solvable by radicals, thereby solving a problem standing for 350 years. His work laid the foundations for Galois theory and group theory,[two major branches of abstract algebra, and the subfield of Galois connections." [1]
He died May 31, 1832 at age 20 from being shot once in the stomach—during a duel, May 30, 1832.
