Fermat and Ramanujan: A Comparisons. The famous Ramanujan taxi-cab equation is discussed as a Diophantine equation in four variables having solutions, but this equation becomes the cubic version of Fermat’s Last Theorem when one of the variables is set equal to zero, in which case there are no non-trivial solutions.

Evariste Galois: Founder of Group Theory mathematicians like Galois who died very young, yet had done their best work in their teens. This article describes the remarkable but tragic life of Galois, his monumental creation of group theory, and the relation of the work of Galois to Ramanujan’s results on roots of numbers.
