Évariste Galois was a French mathematician born in Bourg-la-Reine. While still in his teens, he was able to determine a necessary
and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be solvable by radicals, thereby solving a long-standing problem. His work laid
the foundations for Galois theory, a major branch of abstract algebra, and the subfield of Galois connections. He was the
first to use the word "group" as a technical term in mathematics to represent a group of permutations.
