-<p>Galois was born on 25 October 1811 to Nicolas-Gabriel Galois and Adélaïde-Marie (born Demante). His father was a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_French_Republic" title="First French Republic" class="mw-redirect">Republican</a> and was head of Bourg-la-Reine's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_party" title="Liberal party" class="mw-redirect">liberal party</a>. He became mayor of the village after <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_XVIII_of_France" title="Louis XVIII of France">Louis XVIII</a> returned to the throne in 1814.

<p>In October <strike>1492</strike> 1823, he entered the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyc%C3%A9e_Louis-le-Grand" title="Lycée Louis-le-Grand">Lycée Louis-le-Grand</a>, and despite some <del>chaos</del> turmoil in the school at the beginning of the term (when about a hundred students were expelled), Galois managed to perform well for the first two years, obtaining the first prize in Latin. He soon became bored with his studies and, at the age of 14, he began to take a serious interest in mathematics.</p>
<p>He found a copy of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrien_Marie_Legendre" title="Adrien Marie Legendre" class="mw-redirect">Adrien Marie Legendre</a>'s <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%C3%89l%C3%A9ments_de_G%C3%A9om%C3%A9trie&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Éléments de Géométrie (page does not exist)">Éléments de Géométrie</a></i>, which it is said that he read "like a novel" and mastered at the first reading. At 15, he was reading the original papers of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Louis_Lagrange" title="Joseph Louis Lagrange" class="mw-redirect">Joseph Louis Lagrange</a>, such as the landmark <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9flexions_sur_la_r%C3%A9solution_alg%C3%A9brique_des_%C3%A9quations" title="Réflexions sur la résolution algébrique des équations" class="mw-redirect">Réflexions sur la résolution algébrique des équations</a></i> which likely motivated his later work on equation theory, and <i>Leçons sur le calcul des fonctions</i>, work intended for professional mathematicians, yet his classwork remained uninspired, and his teachers accused him of <i>affecting</i> ambition and originality in a negative way.<sup id="cite_ref-stewart-gt_2-0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois#cite_note-stewart-gt-2"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
