DESCRIPTION:(Free for members\, £2 for non-members)\n\nÉvariste Galois d
 ied aged 20 in 1832\, shot in a mysterious early-morning duel. His ideas\,
  after they were published fourteen years later\, changed the direction of
  algebra and have had a huge influence on mathematics. In this talk we pro
 pose to explain something of his mathematical insights and legacy in non-t
 echnical terms\, and why it seemed worthwhile to produce a meticulous bili
 ngual edition of his writings.
