A romance of ideas and ideals, Galois Fields recounts the brief tumultuous life and intellectual legacy of the 19th century French mathematician and revolutionary, Evariste Galois, founder of Group Theory. The paragraphs of black text tell his biography, the magenta text along the bottom explains Group Theory and its applications, and the silkscreen pattern, an illustration of Group Theory, grows mathematically with each turn of the page.
