10 x 8 (25x 2cm) Print. Part of a manuscript written by the French mathematician Evariste Galois (1811-1832). Galois worked on the problem of finding general solutions for equations of degree n (ie containing terms of the form x raised to the power n, where n is an integer). Galois showed that each equation has an associated group (the Galois term) of substitutions, & that this group determines the solvability of the equation. This work
