Fecha de emisión: Sept 28, 2022

Panther Takahiro Ogata explains difficult mathematical problems in a very serious manner in "Mathematics without Laughing". The theme of the last episode is "Galois Theory." In Paris during the Revolution, a posthumous manuscript left by a 20-year-old genius changed mathematics! Evariste Galois was known as a young revolutionary in Paris in the first half of the 19th century. While working hard to overthrow the monarchy, he nurtured his great theory, which could be called the "second dawn of mathematics," in solitude, without anyone understanding it. The posthumous manuscript he wrote on the eve of his death would later open the door to modern mathematics. This time, the heart-stirringly beautiful, yet abstract and illusive core of his theory is visualized in this episode. What is the key concept of "symmetry"? The story of Galois, the ill-fated genius of mathematics, is featured.
