The person who invented the math we use every day in aes-gcm died in a duel and participated in the french revolution. That's pretty wild.
I had an unpopular comment about not using your age to prop up your work (17 or 70, who cares) from what I can tell you were not considered a child prodigy or abnormally accomplished even back in the day for doing things in late teens and early twenties. Alexander the great did most of his conquering by 25. The concept if a teenager is very modern. After like 13 you were a man/woman as much as any other.

- kergonath 3y ago> Galois didn't take part in the French revolution, he was born well after. He was involved in the July revolution of 1830, which overthrew Charles X and put Louis-Philippe on the throne (though Galois was a republican, and he did not do much). So he was part of a French Revolution, just not that of 1789.
