'''Évariste Galois''' (1811–1832) was [[mathematical]] [[prodigy]] born in [[France]] who founded a branch of abstract [[algebra]] named after him, ''Galois theory''. He was also the first to assign the word "group" to represent a group of mathematical permutations.

He tragically died in a [[duel]] when he was only 20 years old.
Of interest to many mathematics scholars is the fact that most of Galois' most important work was done within 24 of his death. Of the eight pages of scribbled notes he left behind was born "[[group theory]]."
He was killed in a [[duel]] by the jealous husband of his lover when he was only 20 years old.
