On a fateful morning in 1832, as dawn broke over a quiet Parisian field, a young man named Évariste Galois faced his final moments. Only 20 years old, Galois stood defiantly in a duel that would end his life, but his legacy was far from over. Known for his unmatched brilliance in mathematics, he was a mind years, if not centuries, ahead of his time. Yet his genius was as misunderstood as it was groundbreaking, a hidden force that the academic world couldn't—or wouldn’t—embrace.

In this episode, we explore the life of Évariste Galois: from a restless student who challenged the constraints of traditional education, to a visionary who founded group theory, a mathematical field that would change the course of science. His journey is one of rebellion, relentless intellectual pursuit, and fierce loyalty to revolutionary ideals. But Galois’s story is also filled with rejection, heartbreak, and political turmoil in a France at the edge of transformation.

Join us as we unravel the mysteries of Galois's mind, his struggles, and the profound impact he left hidden within the pages of his notebooks. This is not just the story of a mathematician—it’s the story of a man who dared to think differently, even when it meant standing alone. Dive into the tragedy and triumph of Évariste Galois, and discover how a life cut short by a bullet became an eternal beacon in the world of mathematics.
