What is the Galois group of a polynomial over a finite field?

According to you, what person's/group of persons' contributions have proved so seminal in a field, whether of knowledge or art, that their work continues to define the field, even today?

  • Since most fields have several people whose separate contributions have shaped that field, this question is about weighing which single person out of those several had the greatest contribution according to you, and why?

  • Answer:

    In my field, it would probably be William Kennedy Laurie Dickson, though chances are early incarnations of a motion picture camera and viewing device may have existed elsewhere earlier. Without Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope (which was largely developed by Dickson), we wouldn't have movies today.
