I spent an embarrassingly large amount of mindshare in 2021 and 2022 researching the story of Évariste Galois, and began to assemble a large video about it. The end of of the story is quite famous to those who study math: He died in a duel at 20 years old, preceded by a night frantically compiling notes representing some of the first steps into group theory. The full story and broader context is not as well known, and has been confused by apocryphal tales and twisted narratives over the years.
It would make a great video, and ultimately an overwhelming amount of scope-creep led me to set it aside for a while for my own sanity. I fully hope to pick it back up again one day, but in the mean time, Vince and I wanted to share some nice pieces produced during that time intended to serve as the soundtrack.

I'd like to share some music from the channel's regular composer, Vince Rubinetti, for a project never (yet) made: vincerubinetti.bandcamp.com/album/galois
