Today, let's tell the remarkable tale of Evariste Galois. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. E variste Galois was the father of modern algebra. He was born in France in , and he died of gunshot wounds 20 years and seven months later -- still a minor when his brief, turbulent life ended.

He began his career in mathematics by failing the entry exam for the Ecole Polytechnique twice because his answers were so odd.

He was accepted into the Ecole Normale, only to be expelled when he attacked the director in a letter to the papers. A few months later, he was arrested for making a threatening speech against the king. He was acquitted, but then he was tossed right back into jail when he illegally wore a uniform and carried weapons. He spent the next eight months writing mathematics.

But then, as soon as he got out, he was devastated by an unhappy love affair. I guess it'd be fair to say he was a typical bright young teenager.

Today, let's tell the remarkable tale of Evariste Galois.

For some murky reason -- maybe underhanded police work -- he was challenged to a duel on May 30th, -- a duel he couldn't win but which he couldn't dodge, either. By then his talents as a mathematician were known. He'd published some material, and luminaries like Gauss, Jacobi, and Cauchy knew of him. On May 29th, he wrote and wrote.
