Mathematician:Évariste Galois

French mathematician famous for dying at the age of 20 as the result of a duel.

Despite his total collected works amounting to a mere 60 pages or so, he had a significant influence in the development of the field of group theory.

His innovative approach to the problem of the insolubility of the quintic led to the field known now as Galois theory.
