This category contains results named for Évariste Galois.
French mathematician famous for dying at the age of 20 as the result of a duel.
Despite his total collected works amounting to a mere 60 pages or so, he had a significant influence in the development of the field of group theory. He was in fact the first person to use the word group in a technical sense.
His innovative approach to the problem of the insolubility of the quintic led to the field known now as Galois theory.
