His Father was Director of a school and he would become in mayor of Bourg-la-Reine. Galois studied at home until he turned twelve, at which time he presented and approved the entrance examination to Louis-le-Grand one of the most prestigious schools located in Paris. The syllabus had three years of duration, unfortunately Galois had that repeated the third year for poor performance in his rhetoric class. To Galois the classes was boring, and fearing see again the same topics, he went to the library and found the Elements de Géometrie by Legendre, a book of geometry which obsessed him. This was his first close up with mathematics, he was fifteen years old at this moment. Galois fell in love deeply of maths, the world around him disappeared, maths were the only thing that existed for him. Drive by this love, he presented the entrance exam at sixteen to École Polytechnique , which was something like the university in our time, in that place he could study every single moment maths, and would forget the greek and latin studied in the Louis- la-Grand, one place that he always hated. The talent of Galois to maths was undeniable, nevertheless he reproved the exam as the people of his time didn't see the geniality of his ideas, they only saw the insignificant details that galois didn’t know, they only saw the tree but not the forest. Galois decided take one year class of maths in the Louis-la-Grand to learn the details that the examiners wanted that he know. But a feeling of resentment started to born in Galois,he didn't understand how the society don't recognize the genius and favor the servile mediocrity. A revolutionary spirit borned in him, and would accompany him for the rest of his life.In 1828 shortly before Galois presented again the entrance exam, his father commit suicide, it seems that there was a plot against his father, this affected him deeply and may be the reason whereby he reprobed again the exam. Evariste Galois was born in 1811 in Bourg-la-Reine located in France. Son of Nicolas Gabriel Galois and Adélaïde-Marie. His Father was Director of a school and he would become in mayor of Bourg-la-Reine.
