The history of Evariste Galoi (Second Part)
In 1830 Galois entered at École Normale, which was less prestigious than École Polytechnique and whose mission was provide teachers for the royal schools, like the Louis-la-Grand. In this moment in France the oppressions of Carlos X were about to generate the revolution of 1830, revolution than ended with the exile of Carlos X and the coronation of the Luis Felipe, who would continue with the oppressions against the village of France.
At this point the interests of Galois changed, and his revolutionary spirit got hold of him, what led him to join with the Republicans to fight the oppressions of Luis Felipe.
In spring 1831 with just nineteen years old his actions against the king took him to jail twice, the first time, he spent one month in the jail and was released. The second time, he spent eight months. Since he was in the Louis-la-grand until he was arrested, Galois wrote and sent several monographs to the Academy of Science, in which he showed the main ideas of his theory about solubility of equations by radicals. When he was in jail, received response of the academy by Siméon Poisson, whose said that his theory was incomprehensible.
the 29 of april of 1832 Galois was released of prison, one month later he would die in a duel against the champion of fencing of French army. The circumstances that took him to the duel aren't clear, apparently was a incident with a woman. The last night before his duel, Evariste knew that he is going to die, and wrote and sent his mathematic testament to his republicans friends. In one of the pages, he wrote, " the proof is not clear, but i don't have time". The 30 of may of 1832, Galois was seriously injured by a bullet in the duel, the next day he died. He had 20 years old.
During his life Galois never was recognized how the great mathematician that he was. In 1843 ( eleven years later his death) the French mathematician Joseph Liouville published the monographs of Galois, declaring that the ideas of Galois was a revolution in the field of maths knows by the mathematicians until then.But Galois was really famous until 1870, when the mathematician Camille Jordan wrote a book of about 600 pages about theory of substitutions. In the preface he wrote: " all this book is only a commentary about the monographs of Galois".
