Galois’ Enduring Legacy
- Synopsis
- Evariste Galois, the pioneer of group theory, died in 1832 at age 20 following a politically inspired duel. It took a further 14 years for the mathematical world to understand the implication of his groundbreaking ideas, and group theory is more relevant today than ever.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
