Answer
Galois theory, named after the French mathematician Évariste Galois, is a branch of abstract algebra that studies the solvability of polynomial equations. It provides necessary and sufficient conditions for determining whether a given polynomial equation can be solved in terms of radicals, leading to significant insights into the algebraic structure and symmetries of polynomial equations.
