  2. Who is Niels Abel? • Niels Henrik Abel (5 August 1802 – 6 April 1829) was a noted Norwegian mathematicianwho proved the impossibility of solving the QUINTIC EQUATIONin radicals.

  3. What did Abel do? • At an early age, Niels Abel studied the works of the greatest mathematicians, found flaws in their proofs, and resolved to reprove some of these theorems rigorously. He studied and resolved many theorems from Sir Isaac Newton. • He is most famous for his solving of the QUINTIC EQUATIONS in radicals.

  4. Quintic equations are polynomial equations with one variable, customarily denoted by x, which is never raised to a power greater than the fifth. Symbolically, such an equation can be written as follows: ax5 + bx4 + cx3 + dxdx2 + ex + f = 0. The problem of solving polynomial equations in general, and quintic equations in particular, has been a central theme in from antiquity to the present.

  5. Death of Niels Abel R.I.P. NIELS ABEL!!! • Niels Henrik Abel died April 6th in 1829 of tuberculosis. He lived to be 26 years old. If he would have lived longer, math today could be more advanced and simple.
