Évariste Galois (1811–1832) was a French mathematician known for his pioneering Work in Group Theory and Abstract Algebra. His revolutionary insights into Polynomial Equations laid the groundwork for what is now called Galois Theory. Despite his brief Life, cut short in a mysterious duel at the Age of 20, Galois's contributions have had a lasting Impact on modern Mathematics. His works, posthumously published, continue to influence the fields of mathematics and Cryptography.
