Math Girls 5

Focusing on Évariste Galois, this installment of the Math Girls series explores his groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, particularly his work on polynomial equations and group theory. It delves into Galois's ingenious methods that revealed the impossibility of a quintic formula, while also covering related concepts like geometric constructions, the cubic formula, and symmetric polynomials. The narrative is designed for math enthusiasts from advanced high school students to educators, culminating in an examination of Galois's foundational paper on polynomial solutions.
