This paper appeals to the figure of Evariste Galois for investigating the gates between mathematics and their publics. The figure of Galois draws some lines of/within mathematics for/from the outside of mathematics and these lines in turn sketch the silhouette of Galois as a historical figure. The present paper especially investigates the collective categories that have been used in various types of public discourses on Galoiss work (e.g. equations, groups, algebra, analysis, France, Germany etc.). In a way, this paper aims at shedding light on the boundaries some individuals drew by getting Galois his gun. It is our aim to highlight the roles of authority some individuals (such as as Picard) took on in regard with the public figure of Galois as well as the roles such authorities assigned to other individuals (such as the mediating role assigned to Jordan as a mediator between Galoiss ideas and the public). The boundary-works involved by most public references to Galois have underlying them a long-term tension between academic and public legitimacies in the definition of some models for mathematical lives (or mathematics personae)

This is an English translation of Nikolai Chebotaryovs paper Die Probleme der modernen Galoisschen Theorie from 1932. An excerpt from this paper was given as a lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich in 1932. With the lectur

This preprint is the extended version of a paper that will be published in the proceedings of the Oberwolfach conference Explicit vs tacit knowledge in mathematics (January 2012). It presents a case study on some algebraic researches at the turn of t
he twentieth century that involved mainly French and American authors. By investigating the collective dimensions of these works, this paper sheds light on the tension between the tacit and the explicit in the ways some groups of texts hold together, thereby constituting some shared algebraic cultures. Although prominent algebraists such as Dickson made extensive references to papers published in France, and despite the roles played by algebra and arithmetic in the development of the American mathematical community, our knowledge of the circulations of knowledge between France and the United States at the beginning of the 20th century is still very limited. It is my aim to tackle such issues through the case study of a specific collective approach to finite group theory at the turn of the 20th century. This specific approach can be understood as a shared algebraic culture based on the long run circulation of some specific procedures of decompositions of the analytic forms of substitutions. In this context, the general linear group was introduced as the maximal group in which an elementary abelian group (i.e., the multiplicative group of a Galois field) is a normal subgroup.
C. Ragoonatha Chary, the first assistant at Madras Observatory during 1864 to 1880 was not only a celebrated observational astronomer but also a person who emphasized the need for incorporating modern observations based improvements into the traditio
nal methods of astronomical calculations. He was one of the first few people who argued for establishment of independent modern Indian observatory for education and training. He was credited with the discovery of two variable stars R Reticuli and another star whose identity is uncertain. The person and his variable star discoveries are discussed.
