I wanted to put this up because I was online looking at the articles in my feed, I already blogged about it today. What seems to have been pointed out was that this Galois who I am.illustrating looks like my guy Beddoes, is another tragic figure of the 19th century. Galois dies because of a duel at age 20, but before he dies he writes out a quick explanation of his math ideas, ideas which were to go on amd shape modern mathematics, algebra. I wen amd looked him up. He looked like Beddoes, the poet who was alluded to in Tennyson. I liked Beddoes poetry, but Tennyson betrayed his superstition about early death and said he was not that great. I will have to take another look. Point overall being a youth and tragedy are not proof of talent. Galois sent me on to read about algebra, and I know I learned a bit of it from a video once. I like math because of the philosophy. People who are good at it like math.
