File:Evariste Galois.jpg|link=Évariste Galois (nonfiction)|1832: Mathematician and social activist [[Évariste Galois (nonfiction)|Évariste Galois]] from wounds suffered in a duel.  While still in his teens, he was able to determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be solvable by radicals, thereby solving a problem standing for 350 years. His work laid the foundations for Galois theory and group theory, two major branches of abstract algebra, and the subfield of Galois connections.
