The Tragic Brilliance of Evariste Galois
Manage episode 405425476 series 3556586
On this week's episode of Sidestories, we begin our tour of Revolutionary France, by recounting the tragically short life of Evariste Galois. A complicated young man, Galois was a French mathematician and political revolutionary who led protests and riots in the streets of Paris, fought for the honor of the woman he loved, and set the stage for a Newtonian-level paradigm shift in mathematics, all before his 21st birthday.
