Galois theory (pronounced "gal-wah") is a subject in mathematics that is centered around the connection between fields and groups.  Fields and groups. Fields are sets of numbers (sometimes abstractly called elements) that have a way of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. Groups are like fields, but with only one operation, often called addition (subtraction is considered addition with negative numbers).  Fields are often hard to study because there are so many possible combinations of numbers. This makes their internal structure hard to decipher. Groups are usually much less complex and easier to understand.  Galois theory gives a concrete connection between hard-to-study fields and easy-to-study groups. Disclaimer. The nature of Galois' work is extremely advanced. It is usually considered out of reach for general audiences, or anyone without a strong technical background in abstract algebra.  This article will go into some detail, mostly defining types of equations and groups, and give a brief overview of the main ideas behind Galois theory. This article may not truly belong on "Simple English Wikipedia", though it may be referenced by those who have trouble understanding , and just need a brief discussion on the subject.  Beyond the first paragraph of this page, some mathematical experience may be required. All things considered, any high schooler should be able to follow the main ideas laid forth in this article. Historical motivation. Euclid and geometry. In the year 300 BCE, the Greek mathematician Euclid (pronounded yook-lid) wrote a book on geometry titled "Elements." The text contained thirteen books, all on how to solve problems in geometry.  Euclid was able to find ways to bisect any angle; that is, he was able to find an angle that was half of any other angle. Euclid was able to do much more, too. Using a straightedge and compass, he could construct shapes like circles, triangles, squares, pentagons, and others. However, he was unable to find a way to make every possible polygon. For example, Euclid was unable to make a regular 9-gon, a shape with 9 equal sides, using only ruler and compass.  Mathematic
The bumpy rocket frog or Peter's frog ("Litoria inermis") is a frog from Australia.

It is light and dark brown with some yellow marks on its legs and a white spot near its jaws. Its front feet have no webbing and its back feet have some webbing. Its skin is bumpy. The scientists who first wrote about this frog in the 1800s thought it was a burrowing frog, meaning a frog that likes to dig into the ground and spend time underground, but it is not. Its scientific name, "inermis", means "does not have a weapon". Most burrowing frogs have sharp bones in their feet, but the bumpy rocket frog does not. Burrowing frogs use these bones to dig.

Females lay their eggs 100-300 at a time in temporary bodies of water with no plants in them. The tadpoles can grow to 4 cm.

Appeal to novelty is a fallacy where a person would claim that Subject B is better than Subject A because Subject B is newer, or that "newer is better". This fallacy is understandable because people find new discoveries everyday. Since new discoveries are made everyday, people are quick to think that the new thing will be better than the old thing because of the possibility that the new thing was made to fix the mistakes of the old thing. An example of appeal to novelty is that "the newer versions of the iPhone will always be better then the older versions because smartphone technology becomes more advanced every year." An example that people use to prove this argument wrong is New Coke, because even though it was made later than the older Coca-Cola, most people who have tasted New Coke say it tasted worse than Coca-Cola. The opposite of appeal to novelty is appeal to tradition.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a branch of traditional medicine from China. It is at least 3,500 years old. Treatments include herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping, massage, and exercise. Since the methods of TCM are different from Western medicine, it is hard to find evidence that shows how safe or good TCM really is. Many of the most important ideas in TCM are based on the teachings of Daoism. Based on the teachings of TCM, it is important to balance the five elements in a person's body: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each element also has something called "yin" and "yang", or opposite values that must exist alongside each other rather than to overcome the other. The way to balance the "yin" and "yang" is to strengthen "qi", or an invisible force that brings balance to the "yin" and "yang". Knowing the five elements and the "yin" and "yang" is important because each organ of the body is related to one of the five elements. It is important to strengthen a person's "qi" because balancing the "yin" and "yang" of a person's organs is important for people to be healthy. The different treatments in TCM are made to bring balance to the elements in a person's body. These ideas are similar to, but not the same as, the four temperaments, which was an widely believed theory in European medicine before scientific medicine was created. In the 19th century, many European doctors working as missionaries in China started translating TCM. For example, Dr. helped spread it to Germany. TCM also has a lot to do with how mentally stable you are in the process of your healing.
