On this week's episode of Sidestories, we begin our tour of Revolutionary France, by recounting the tragically short life of Evariste Galois. A complicated young man, Galois was a French mathematician and political revolutionary who led protests and riots in the streets of Paris, fought for the honor of the woman he loved, and set the stage for a Newtonian-level paradigm shift in mathematics, all before his 21st birthday.
