Download or read book Evariste Galois, 1811-1832 (Matematica Sulle Barricate) written by Laura Toti Rigatelli and published by Birkhauser. This book was released on 1996 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took more than seventy years to fully understand the French mathematician's first memoire (published in 1846) which formulated the famous 'Galois theory' concerning the solvability of algebraic equations by radicals, from which group theory would follow. Obscurities in his other writings - memoires and numerous fragments of extant papers - persist and his ideas challenge mathematicians to this day. Thus scholars will welcome those chapters devoted specifically to explicating all aspects of Galois' work.
