Évariste Galois, a French mathematician, made significant advancements in algebra by devising a vital criterion to ascertain the solvability of polynomial equations using radicals. This breakthrough transformed the field, which had struggled with a longstanding problem for centuries. Galois’ pioneering work laid the foundation for Galois theory and group theory, essential components of abstract algebra. Additionally, he played a role in the political events of the French Revolution of 1830, which led to his imprisonment and tragic death following his involvement in dueling.
