==Origins of Group Theory==

It is generally recognised that Group Theory began with Evariste Galois in the early 19th century, who recognised some patterns in the roots of Quintics. The legend is that he invented Group Theory the night before he was killed in a duel.

It is generally recognised that Group Theory began with [[Evariste Galois]] in the early 19th century, who recognised some patterns in the roots of Quintics. The legend is that he invented Group Theory the night before he was killed in a duel.

Galois certainly fought a duel with Perscheux d'Herbinville on 30 May, 1832 (the reason for the duel not being clear but definitely linked with a female; many sources claim she was a prosititute.) Galois was wounded in the duel and was abandoned by d'Herbinville and his own seconds and found later by a peasant. He died in Cochin hospital on 31 May.
