6/ Galois/Finite Fields
It's named after Évariste Galois, who laid the foundations for group theory. He was really intelligent, which, I guess, is why he decided to fight in a duel and then died of the wounds he suffered at 20 years old.

It proves that you can combine many individual, secret values (m_i) into a single new value, and the math still works out.

Main Theme 2: The math behind it is key. Discussion touched on representing elliptic curves over finite fields and the mapping processes used to create the visuals. Understanding the algorithms is part of the appreciation. #FiniteFields 3/6
