Evariste Galois / 伽罗瓦
Evariste Galois appears in 78.西方决斗史:出剑吧!为了荣誉! as the mathematician whose fatal duel is used to show how love, rumor, and reputation disputes could destroy intellectual lives. The episode emphasizes the pathos of Galois writing down mathematical work shortly before dying at age twenty.
In the source, Galois is not treated as a mathematics-history subject in detail. He is a compact case of [[HonorDuelCulture|honor duel culture]] turning a private or romantic conflict into a lethal public ritual.
