Galois theory
By: Stewart, Ian.
Material type:
BookSeries: Chapman and Hall/CRC mathematics. Publisher: Boca Raton CRC press 2004Edition: 3rd ed.Description: xxxv, 288p.ISBN: 9781584883937.Subject(s): Galois theoryDDC classification: 512.3 | St49g3 Summary: Ian Stewart's Galois Theory has been in print for 30 years. Resoundingly popular, it still serves its purpose exceedingly well. Yet mathematics education has changed considerably since 1973, when theory took precedence over examples, and the time has come to bring this presentation in line with more modern approaches.
To this end, the story now begins with polynomials over the complex numbers, and the central quest is to understand when such polynomials have solutions that can be expressed by radicals. Reorganization of the material places the concrete before the abstract, thus motivating the general theory, but the substance of the book remains the same
