VERRIEST, Œuvres Mathématiques d'Évariste Galois, 1951

This work contains the Œuvres Mathématiques d'Évariste Galois (Mathematical Works of Évariste Galois, 1811-1832), a mathematical genius whose revolutionary work on group theory and field theory laid the foundations of modern algebra. The "notice sur Évariste Galois et la Théorie des Équations Algébriques" (note on Évariste Galois and the Theory of Algebraic Equations) is written by Gustave Verriest (1880-1956), professor at the University of Louvain, who provides essential insights into Galois' short but intense life and the importance of his discoveries. The publication of Galois' works, first in 1897, then this second revised and corrected edition in 1951, highlights their lasting impact on contemporary mathematics and their posthumous recognition as major contributions.
