EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a significant piece of mathematical history: "Ms 2108 f. 4 Writings on the conditions for solving an equation by radicals" by Evariste Galois. Created in 1832, this pen and ink manuscript holds the last words penned by Galois himself before his tragic demise in a duel. Housed at the Bibliotheque de l'Institut de France in Paris, this manuscript showcases Galois' contributions to higher algebra and specifically focuses on the resolvability of equations through radicals. The photograph allows us to witness these handwritten notes up close, revealing Galois' meticulous calculations and profound insights. The significance of this document is heightened by its historical context. Written on the eve of his fatal duel, we can see Galois' final thoughts immortalized within these pages. In one margin, he scribbles "Je n'ai pas le temps" (I do not have time), perhaps reflecting his awareness that time was running out for him both mathematically and personally. Galois remains renowned as a brilliant French mathematician who revolutionized algebraic theory with his concepts of group theory and solvability by radicals. This image serves as a reminder of his genius cut short tragically at just 20 years old. Through this photograph from Bridgeman Images, we are granted access to an intimate glimpse into Galois' mind – a testament to his enduring legacy in mathematics and the indelible mark he
