I tried to learn Galois theory on Coursera a few years ago (the course was in French, which is my mother tongue, but probably few HNers can understand it), and failed the class partly due to lack of time. Since then I've been trying from time to time to read about it, which refreshed knowledge of Group theory, but so far I haven't gotten to the point where I understand Galois's idea to prove that some polynomial equations are not solvable by radicals.
