His counterpart, Evariste Galois, is less well known, but Livio eloquently defends Galois's contributions to group theory while bringing us the story of how the 20-year-old half-mad mathematician died in a duel over a woman.

Though it's an aprocryphal tale attributable almost entirely to Eric Temple Bell's inspiring if inaccurate book, Men of Mathematics, I've always taken romantic refuge in the story of French mathematician Evariste Galois desperately trying to write down his vast knowledge of mathematics in the final hours before he died in a duel at the age of 20.

Stewart introduces us to such characters as the Renaissance Italian genius, rogue, scholar, and gambler Girolamo Cardano, who stole the modern method of solving cubic equations and published it in the first important book on algebra, and the young revolutionary Evariste Galois, who refashioned the whole of mathematics and founded the field of group theory only to die in a pointless duel over a woman before his work was published.

As to his heroes, du Sautoy says he is an admirer of Evariste Galois, the young French mathematician whose work as a teenager led to the creation of Galois theory, a field of abstract algebra, and whose commitment to the Republican cause led to his death, aged 20, after a duel in 1832.
