EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the beginning of Evariste Galois' examination script for the Concours General in 1829. The image showcases Galois' meticulous penmanship as he embarked on his journey to gain entry into the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique. Galois, a brilliant French mathematician, is renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to higher algebra. His work revolutionized concepts such as square roots and group theory, leaving an indelible mark on the field of mathematics. The photograph offers a glimpse into Galois' handwritten equations, revealing his profound understanding of algebraic principles. It serves as a testament to his intellectual prowess and dedication to his craft. Interestingly, this examination script represents Galois' third attempt at gaining admission into Ecole Polytechnique after failing twice before. Despite facing setbacks in previous years, he persevered with unwavering determination. The image not only highlights Galois' mathematical genius but also provides a window into history through its preservation in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. This rare autograph allows us to connect with one of history's greatest minds and appreciate the beauty found within scientific exploration. In summary, this remarkable print encapsulates Evariste Galois' pursuit of knowledge and showcases his exceptional talent as a mathematician during an important moment in his life.
