Niels Henrik Abel was a Norwegian mathematician who lived from August 5, 1802, to April 6, 1829. He is best known for his significant contributions to various areas of mathematics, particularly in the field of algebra. Abel's most notable accomplishment is his proof that the general quintic equation (the polynomial equation of degree five) cannot be solved in terms of radicals, which established an important result in the theory of equations.
